00:27A rare bipartisan vote in the U.S. House
00:31has put President Donald Trump's Iran strategy
00:34under fresh scrutiny.
00:35Four Republicans joined every House Democrat
00:38to pass a war powers resolution
00:41aimed at limiting further U.S. military action against Iran.
00:45And the move signals growing concern in Congress
00:48over how the conflict is being handled.
00:51The House passed the resolution
00:53by a 214 to 208 vote.
00:57Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal,
01:00who sponsored the measure,
01:02said Congress must reclaim its constitutional authority
01:05over decisions of war.
01:07Jayapal called it a vote of conscience
01:09and said lawmakers have a responsibility
01:11to send a clear message
01:13that Congress, not the president alone,
01:16has the power to decide on prolonged military action.
01:19The resolution received support from four Republican lawmakers,
01:23Tom Barrett, Warren Davidson,
01:26Thomas Massey, and Brian Fitzpatrick,
01:28all of whom had also backed a similar measure in June.
01:32Their votes once again highlighted rare bipartisan disagreement
01:36with the White House on the Iran conflict.
01:38The renewed push comes as the human cost of the war continues to rise.
01:44According to the latest figures,
01:4618 U.S. service members have died
01:48since joint U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran began earlier this year.
01:54Momentum is also building in the Senate.
01:56Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
01:58has announced that Senate Democrats
02:00will force another war powers vote.
02:03He argued that lawmakers cannot support American troops
02:07while allowing a war with no clearly defined mission or end.
02:12Meanwhile, President Trump took part
02:14in the dignified transfer ceremony
02:16for American service members killed during the conflict.
02:19At the same time,
02:21he issued a strong warning to Iran
02:23over attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
02:27In a Truth Social post,
02:29Trump said that if Iran attacks any ship in the strategic waterway,
02:33the United States would respond
02:35by striking major Iranian infrastructure,
02:38including bridges or power plants, near Tehran.
02:42The latest House vote
02:43does not immediately change U.S. military operations.
02:47But it sends a strong political message
02:50that growing numbers of lawmakers from both parties
02:53want Congress to play a larger role
02:55in decisions that could expand America's involvement
02:59in the Iran conflict.
