US Parliament approved the proposal to withdraw troops from Iran, Trump will not be able to fight the war?

Washington: The US Parliament has approved the war power resolution to stop military action against Iran. Disobeying President Donald Trump, some Republican lawmakers, along with Democratic lawmakers, have decided to end the three-month-long war that has changed the course of politics at home and abroad. Speaker of Parliament Mike Johnson had tried to prevent this result, reflecting growing opposition to the war, and two weeks earlier, when the War Powers Resolution was about to be passed, he abruptly halted the House. But as the conflict drags on and Trump struggles to negotiate a quick resolution, discontent is growing.

The reckless and costly war must end today.

In the voting in Parliament on Wednesday, 208 votes were cast against 215 and there was a wave of happiness in the House. “This reckless and expensive war must end today,” New York Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said earlier in the week. We just need the support of a few Republican lawmakers and we can end this reckless and costly war. A war that has cost American taxpayers more than $100 billion. This is extraordinary and has put our country in a weak position vis-à-vis Iran.

Opposition to war is increasing in America

The Senate passed its war powers resolution last month after some Republican senators seceded from the president in a political protest on behalf of their party. Trump promised to end US interventions abroad and focus more on domestic issues while campaigning for the White House, but the war has turned attention back to the Middle East.

The Senate Speaker said, Trump is completely focused on the domestic front. Since the US joined Israel in attacking Iran on February 28, Americans have seen gasoline prices skyrocket at the gas pumps, adding to inflationary pressures on consumer spending. Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz is causing shortage of the world’s oil, natural gas and related products like fertilizers.

War continues even after ceasefire

A ceasefire was declared in the conflict in April, but the situation is still unstable and uncertain. Negotiations for a more permanent end to the fighting have been protracted, further complicated by Israel’s escalating war with Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. Meanwhile, military attacks continue between America and Iran.

What will happen next in Iran-America war?

The war powers resolution passed by the House of Representatives would not stop the war immediately, but it would be a symbolic move against further military action, even if it was not legal.

If it is approved, it would go to the Senate, where last month four Republican senators joined with Democrats to introduce a similar resolution to limit the US campaign against Iran.

The Senate has yet to cast a final vote on whether to approve or reject his war powers resolution.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, testifying at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Wednesday, warned that if Congress approves the war powers resolution, Iranians will think the administration’s hands will be tied. He said that they will think, we will not be able to do anything against them, so why compromise?

This week the House is also likely to consider a resolution related to war powers to stop US action in Lebanon.

Under the Constitution, Congress has the authority to declare war, but the President also has the authority to take military action as commander-in-chief, creating a legal dispute over which branch of government has the final say in matters of war and peace.

Under the War Powers Act, the White House has a 60-day deadline to obtain approval from Congress for military action.

The Trump administration has indicated that hostilities have ended due to the declaration of a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict in Iran.
