The House adopted a war powers resolution Thursday with the aim of limiting President Donald Trump's military actions against Iran. The adoption of the measure on a largely party-line vote came amid heightened tensions between the two countries after the United States killed a top Iranian general and Iran retaliated with a ballistic missile attack against Iraqi airbases housing U.S. forces. Before the vote, Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the U.S. drone attack on the Iranian commander "provocative" and "disproportionate" and said the resolution would send a clear statement that Trump should not take further military action against Iran without approval from Congress. |
