U.S. Congress votes to limit Trump military action against Iran

The U.S. Congress has given final approval to a measure to limit Donald Trump’s authority to order a military attack on Iran.


The House of Representatives on March 11 voted 227-186 on the so-called war powers legislative, with six Republicans joining in with Democrats to pass the resolution that had already cleared the Republican-led Senate.


The measure forbids any military action against Iran without an explicit vote from Congress. Such a law would not prevent Trump or future presidents from taking military action if they determine there is an imminent threat from Iran.
