The US House of Representatives approved on Wednesday (3) a resolution ordering the withdrawal of American troops from the war against Iran, by 215 votes to 208, with support from four Republican representatives.

The resolution is mainly symbolic, as Trump can veto it. A similar measure advanced in the Senate in May and may be voted on this week. The text states that "Congress directs the President to remove the Armed Forces of the United States from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran," invoking the 1973 War Powers Act. ≈

The war has faced growing public resistance — a May New York Times/Siena poll showed 64% of Americans consider the decision to go to war with Iran wrong — and economic impacts, with gasoline reaching $4.26 per gallon due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
