WASHINGTON, September 16. /TASS/. The US House of Representatives has voted 220-204 to approve a resolution demanding that President Donald Trump end military operations against Iran, according to a C-SPAN broadcast.

The resolution is not legally binding and serves as a recommendation. Lawmakers usually express their position in such documents, while the government has the right to ignore them.

Under the US Constitution, Congress holds the power to formally declare war. However, in recent decades, US presidents have widely interpreted lawmakers’ authorization to use military power overseas, particularly launching new military operations.

The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding envisaging an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon. However, early on July 8, the United States resumed massive airstrikes on Iran, accusing Tehran of violating their previous agreements regarding the Strait of Hormuz.

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • The Trump administration will likely ignore the House resolution, as it is non-binding and presidents have historically asserted unilateral authority over military operations.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz canceled his trip to the United States and participation in the UN General Assembly debates

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz canceled his trip to the United States and his participation in the high-level debate of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, citing the need to remain in Berlin. He also previously canceled a call with US President Donald Trump following a White House release praising the Alternative for Germany's victory in Saxony-Anhalt. Russian officials commented on the situation, linking the AfD's victory to the European perception of German policy as aimed at war with Russia. Within Germany, support for the AfD is growing, reaching 30% nationally, while Merz's CDU falls to 20% and in some regions to 7%.
