(CNA Washington, 3rd, combined foreign reports) The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution today directing the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the war in Iran, a political blow to President Trump, who launched the conflict in February.
According to AFP, the resolution was passed with four Republicans from Trump's own party breaking ranks and joining with Democrats. It is largely symbolic; even if the Senate passes it, Trump can still veto it.
The resolution was introduced by a senior Democratic member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and passed with 215 votes in favor and 208 against.
Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee posted on social media platform X: "This is a strong and clear message from the American people to President Trump: It's time to end his highly unpopular and illegal selective war on Iran."
This is the first time since the Iran war began three months ago that the Republican-controlled House has passed a proposal seeking to force Trump to scale back military operations against Tehran.
A similar resolution cleared a key procedural hurdle in the Senate in late May, and the Senate, also narrowly controlled by Republicans, could vote on it as early as this week.
Despite ongoing clashes between U.S. and Iranian forces and little substantive progress in peace talks, the Trump administration continues to insist that the war with Iran is over. (Editor: Zhang Xiaowen) 1150604
