House votes 215 to 208 to halt Trumps Iran war as 4 Republicans break ranks

Speaker Mike Johnson tried to kill this vote two weeks ago by sending the House home early for recess. It didn't work: on Wednesday, four Republicans crossed over and the House passed a war powers resolution 215–208 directing Trump to end U.S. military action against Iran, the first time either chamber has formally voted to constrain the now three-month-old war. The resolution is likely headed for a veto, but the political signal is hard to ignore — Trump's own party is breaking with him on a war voters are feeling at the gas pump, and the Senate, where four GOP members already advanced a parallel measure, is next.
