00:00Welcome back. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a measure aimed at halting President Donald Trump
00:07from taking further military action against Iran without congressional approval.
00:12The resolution passed 215-208 after four Republicans joined Democrats
00:17in a rare public rebuke of the President's handling of the war.
00:22The White House has rejected the resolution, calling it an unconstitutional attempt
00:28to limit presidential authority as Commander-in-Chief.
00:31While largely symbolic, the vote marks the fourth attempt by the House to curb Trump's war powers.
00:38A similar measure was advanced in the Senate in May, though the final vote has yet to be held.
00:43The result highlights growing divisions within Trump's Republican Party
00:48and adds pressure on the White House as the Iran conflict fuels higher energy costs and economic uncertainty.
