US House votes for a third time to end Iran war

## House Votes on War Powers Resolution

The US House of Representatives has voted for the third time to end military involvement in Iran, passing a war powers resolution aimed at curtailing President Donald Trump's authority to continue the conflict without congressional consent. The resolution passed with a vote of 220-204, with a few more Republicans joining Democrats in support.

## Political Implications

This vote is likely the last on the Iran war before the upcoming midterm elections. The conflict, initiated by Trump on February 28, has been a significant issue in political campaigns, with its impact on oil prices and inflation being a major concern for voters. The Congressional Budget Office reported the war has cost over $38 billion as of August 1, with ongoing expenses projected at $2-3 billion monthly.

## Congressional Challenges

Despite repeated efforts by Congress to limit the administration's military actions, the resolutions have not reached the president's desk, where a veto is expected. The Senate had also approved a similar resolution, but it was quickly reversed after pressure from Trump.

## Economic Impact

The war has disrupted oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to higher gas prices and inflation. House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged the need to reduce these costs but suggested the conflict is entering a "new phase" with increased ally involvement, potentially stabilizing the region and lowering prices post-election.
