House Halts Trump’s Iran War Plan
from Irvine News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The House just voted to halt U.S. military action against Iran — a major blow to President Trump’s war strategy — in a historic 215-208 vote, marking the first time Congress has successfully passed a war powers resolution to end this three-month conflict. This isn’t the first attempt: it’s the fourth time the House has tried, while the Senate pushes its own version. The war has already cost over $100 billion and spiked gas prices, fueling public and political backlash. Even as Trump campaigned on pulling out of foreign entanglements, this conflict has dragged the U.S. back into the Middle East. Speaker Johnson is trying to mediate, including talks with Trump to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — vital for global oil flow. Though a ceasefire was declared in April, tensions with Israel and Hezbollah keep peace talks fragile. If this resolution becomes law, it would be a powerful symbolic rebuke to continued military action — even if it doesn’t instantly end hostilities. This vote is part of a broader congressional push to reclaim war powers, with other measures looming on Ukraine and Lebanon, reigniting the debate over who truly holds the power to wage war: Congress or the President.
