Congress Tries Again to Stop War with Iran | Pittsburgh News
Description
Congress just sent a strong message to President Trump: stop military action against Iran without their approval. With a 214-208 vote, including four Republican defections, lawmakers are asserting their constitutional war powers. This isn’t the first time — similar measures passed earlier this year — but the administration argues hostilities reset under the 1973 War Powers Act and questions its legality. Democrats are pushing back, ready to use funding as leverage to halt the conflict. Meanwhile, House Republicans unveiled their own plan — funding the Iran war plus aid for farmers — but it’s facing steep Senate hurdles. With billions requested for the Pentagon and ongoing operations, the financial stakes are sky-high.
