The United States House of Representatives narrowly rejected a Democratic-led resolution seeking to halt military action against Iran unless Congress grants authorization, with the vote ending in a 212 to 212 tie. The measure failed because it required a majority to pass. Three Republicans joined most Democrats in supporting the resolution, while one Democrat voted against it.

This marked the third House vote this year on limiting the president's war authority regarding Iran and came after a 60-day deadline for President Donald Trump to seek congressional approval. Similar efforts have repeatedly failed in the Senate, though margins have tightened as divisions within the Republican Party have grown.

Democrats argue that the United States Constitution grants only Congress the power to declare war and say the president has drawn the country into a potentially prolonged conflict without clear authorization or strategy. They also point to rising prices for fuel, food, and other goods since joint United States and Israeli air strikes began in late February.

Republicans and the White House maintain that the president is acting within his authority as commander in chief to respond to imminent threats. They accuse Democrats of using the resolutions for political purposes rather than national security concerns.
