US House passes third resolution in four months attempting to curb US military presence in Iran

The US House of Representatives passed a resolution on Tuesday, with a 220-204 vote, directing President Donald Trump to remove US Armed Forces from Iran, except those necessary for defense against imminent attack. This marks the third such resolution passed by the House, with an increase in Republican support from four to seven. Representative Zach Nunn (R-Iowa), who voted in favor, stated, "I will not support another open-ended war." Concurrently, Republican Representative Thomas Massie filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of unauthorized hostilities against Iran. While unlikely to pass, this move could force a difficult vote for Republicans ahead of midterm elections.
