- The House voted on Thursday evening to approve a war-powers resolution, which looks to bar President Donald Trump from taking any new military actions against Iran without congressional authorization. The Senate has yet to pass the concurrent resolution.
- The 224-194 vote was largely split along party lines and intended as a rebuke to the US military's deadly strike last week on Iran's top military leader, Qassem Soleimani, which has brought the US to the brink of war with Iran.
- Just three Republican House members, including the outspoken Trump supporter Rep. Matt Gaetz, supported the resolution. Eight Democrats voted against it.
- Trump didn't inform or seek authorization from Congress before attacking Iran and said the strike was legal under his authority to defend the nation in the face of an imminent threat.
