House Votes 215-208 to Approve Resolution Seeking to End Trump’s War on Iran

HeadlineJun 04, 2026

The House of Representatives has approved legislation seeking to end President Trump’s war on Iran. On Wednesday, four Republican congressmembers broke ranks and sided with Democrats in a vote of 215-208 on a war powers resolution directing President Trump to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by Congress. The vote had initially been set for two weeks ago but was delayed after House Speaker Mike Johnson adjourned for an early May recess when it appeared the resolution had the votes to pass. It now heads to the Senate; if approved there, the resolution would require President Trump’s signature. Neither chamber of Congress appears to have enough votes to override a presidential veto.
