The resolution was passed with 214 votes in favor and 208 votes against, after 4 Republicans and Democrats supported it.
The resolution passed by the US House of Representatives requires President Donald Trump to withdraw US troops from conflicts against Iran, unless Congress officially allows it.
However, this is a simultaneous resolution, so it should not be submitted to the president for signing or vetoing. Therefore, the resolution that the US House of Representatives has just passed does not have legal value as a law that forces the president to comply.
The vote in the US House of Representatives took place in the context of the US launching a new wave of attacks on Iranian military targets for the 13th consecutive night, while Iran fired at US bases and Gulf allied countries.
Four US military personnel were killed in recent attacks in Iran and their bodies have been brought back to the United States.
Conflict has also spread further along transport routes in the region amid the paralysis of the Hormuz Strait. On July 22, Iranian-backed Houthi forces in Yemen announced that they had attacked 2 Saudi Arabian oil tankers in the Red Sea after declaring a sea blockade with this country.
AFP pointed out that the vote in the US House of Representatives shows signals from the US Congress about the US-Iran conflict and the conflict that began at the end of February has become a political burden for the Republican Party ahead of the midterm election in November.
