On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives supported a resolution led by Democrats aimed at stopping the war with the Iranian government until authorization is granted by Congress.

According to Reuters, the resolution was passed with 215 votes in favor and 208 against, with four Republican representatives joining the Democrats.

This vote marks the latest political defeat for Donald Trump in Congress, despite Republicans holding a fragile majority in both chambers.

The report states that this action is largely symbolic, as it must also be approved by the Senate to take effect, and it requires the support of two-thirds of members in both chambers to overcome a potential veto from Donald Trump.

However, this vote reflects growing concern in Congress about the war with the Iranian government. Three similar previous resolutions in the House had failed, but with narrower vote margins than before. Additionally, the Senate advanced a similar resolution last month in a procedural vote; an event that occurred after seven previous unsuccessful attempts.
