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.
A fresh diplomatic opening appeared to emerge in the Iran crisis on Tuesday, with US President Donald Trump indicating that talks with Tehran could resume within days, possibly in Islamabad, even as Washington tightened military and economic pressure on the country.
The signals came against the backdrop of a US naval blockade around Iranian ports, European planning for a postwar security mission in the Strait of Hormuz, and new diplomatic activity involving Lebanon and Israel. Together, they point to a conflict that is still live on the ground, but increasingly shaped by efforts to prevent a wider regional and economic fallout.
