A bipartisan effort in the House of Representatives has once again sought to rein in the president’s authority to wage war against Iran, passing a resolution for the third time that would require congressional approval before further military action could proceed. The measure, which follows months of prolonged conflict contrary to initial expectations of a brief engagement, now faces the Senate for final approval. With tensions remaining high, the vote underscores growing congressional unease over the scope and duration of the military campaign. Analysts and lawmakers are weighing whether the Senate will take up the measure, potentially reshaping the legal and political landscape of the ongoing standoff.
