Congress rebukes Trump with war powers vote on Iran

Both chambers of Congress have passed a war powers resolution demanding Trump end the US military conflict with Iran — the first time Congress has invoked the measure in history. The move is largely symbolic since Trump can veto it, but it signals rare bipartisan unease with a war that has left 11,000 sailors stranded in the Strait of Hormuz and nearly 1,200 cargo ships blockaded with $125 billion in goods aboard.
