Pentagon launches airstrikes targeting Iranian-backed militia believed to be responsible for an attack that killed American, British troops
The House resolution now goes to the White House, where Trump is expected to veto it. The president said it would undermine U.S. security and"show weakness."But Wednesday's 227-to-186 vote still marked a rare bipartisan effort to curb Trump's war powers and underscored lawmakers' lingering concerns that U.S. tensions with Iran could escalate into a full-fledged war. Six Republicans joined 220 Democrats in supporting the war powers resolution.
"This isn't deterrence," Engel said, noting that Iran has also increased its uranium enrichment stockpile."We're now closer to a war with a country that's closer to possessing a nuclear weapon." He said Trump has shown"remarkable restraint" in using military force and has made it clear he doesn't want war with Iran.
