WASHINGTON: The House narrowly rejected a war powers resolution Thursday to halt President Donald Trump’s attacks on Iran, an early sign of unease in Congress over the rapidly widening conflict that is reordering US priorities at home and abroad.It’s the second vote in as many days, after the Senate defeated a similar measure.

Democrats have questioned whether the US faced the kind of "imminent" threat from Iran that would legally allow the president to take military action on his own.

The Senate rejected a similar war powers resolution on Wednesday, leaving President Donald Trump to pursue further action in Iran.
