The measure states that military force against Iran may proceed only if Congress declares war or specifically authorizes the use of force.
The resolution still requires Senate passage before reaching the president. Even if approved by the Senate, the president can veto the legislation.
Background The vote occurred on June 4, 2026.
Al Jazeera reported the resolution aims to limit executive authority over military engagements with Iran.
