Story summary

On Tuesday, the US House voted for a third time to end the war in Iran, with 220 votes to 204. This vote aims to restrict President Trump's ability to engage in military action without congressional approval. Despite this effort, none of these resolutions are expected to reach President Trump's desk, as he would likely veto them. The defense department report revealed that $38 billion was spent on "Operation Epic Fury" over its first four months, resulting in a shortage of munitions. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia reported intercepting a Houthi drone near Mecca, an event Iran-backed Houthis denied targeting holy sites. In Iowa, two House Republicans shifted their stance to support the resolution, joining Democrats and other dissidents from their party in this effort.
