US House narrowly rejects Iran war powers resolution, testing Trump's strategy
•US House narrowly rejected a resolution to halt President Trump's attacks on Iran by a 212-219 vote.
•The vote signals growing congressional unease over the rapidly widening conflict and Trump's decision to bypass Congress.
•Democrats largely oppose the war, citing constitutional concerns and calling it a "war of choice," while Republicans mostly back Trump's actions against Iran.
•Lawmakers expressed concerns about the administration's shifting rationale, potential for extended conflict, and the human cost, including US military deaths and Iranian casualties.
•The resolution aimed to limit the President's authority unless Congress approved military action, a measure Trump would likely veto.
