Four Republicans join Democrats as House votes to curb Trump’s Iran war powers
The closely contested vote exposed divisions within the Republican Party while renewing debate over Congress' authority to approve extended military operations overseas.
The conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which began on February 28, entered another tense phase as fresh military claims and counterclaims emerged. The latest developments included President Donald Trump’s claim that US forces carried out a major bombing raid on Iran’s Kharg Island, fresh missile launches from Iran towards Israel, and new warnings over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
The developments also come amid a wider military build-up under Operation Epic Fury, the US-led campaign against Iran. At the same time, India has remained engaged on the diplomatic front, with top-level conversations focused on shipping safety, energy supplies, and the security of Indian nationals in the region.
