Republicans block Democrats’ bid to limit Trump’s military actions on Iran

What Happened

Republicans blocked a Democratic resolution seeking to curb President Trump's military actions against Iran during a House pro forma session. Democrats aimed to require congressional approval for ongoing military operations. The session ended before Democrats could introduce the resolution. Trump warned earlier that 'a whole civilization will die,' drawing criticism. Democrats called for stronger action. The White House maintains Trump's actions are lawful under presidential authority. Republicans control both chambers, making Democratic efforts difficult.
