House passes war-powers resolution limiting Trump's Iran strike authority
The U. S. House of Representatives approved a war-powers resolution on September 16 that limits President Donald Trump's authority to conduct further military operations against Iran, with seven Republican lawmakers joining Democrats in the 220-204 vote (Fox News).
Earlier in September, Trump used his social platform to acknowledge that the United States had not yet won the conflict with Iran, contradicting earlier claims of victory (The Daily Beast). He later told CNBC that the war would likely continue until after the November midterm elections and that oil prices would not fall until then.
