June 04, 2026UpdatesU.S. House passes symbolic resolution curbing Trump Iran war powersThe U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday backed a Democratic-led resolution aiming to stop the Iran war until hostilities are authorized by Congress, reflecting growing congressional concern, even among President Donald Trump's Republicans, over the war.The House voted 215 to 208, as four Republicans voted with Democrats in favor of the war powers resolution. It was the latest setback for Trump in Congress despite his party's slim majorities in both chambers.The vote is largely symbolic. Any resolution would also have to pass the Senate to become effective, and garner the two-thirds majorities in both chambers to overcome an almost certain Trump veto.However, it comes after three previous war powers resolutions had failed in the House by increasingly slim margins. And the Senate advanced a separate, but similar resolution last month in a procedural vote, after seven previous attempts had failed.RECAP: Israel and Lebanon agree to renew cease-fire; settlers light fires in Palestinian villages in West BankHere are Wednesday's latest updates:■ Israel and Lebanon Wednesday to renew their cease-fire and create a number of "pilot" security zones inside Lebanon from which Hezbollah militants would be banned.■ Several Palestinian reports said Israeli settlers set fires near Nablus in the West Bank villages of Burin, Udala and al-Sawiya.■ Kuwait said at least one person was killed and 63 wounded in an Iranian attack targeting civilian infrastructure, including Kuwait International Airport and diplomatic missions.
