United States House of Representatives has passed a resolution that seeks to halt President Donald Trump from taking further military action in Iran.

The 215-208 vote, which is largely symbolic, was successful after four Republicans joined Democrats in a public show of disapproval of the war, which began in February.

The vote was to adopt the war powers resolution, which requires Trump to withdraw US forces or seek congressional approval for the conflict.
