Jeffries: Democrats ‘committed’ to forcing Iran war powers vote in wake of US strikes

House Democrats vow to force a vote on restricting the president’s war powers regarding Iran after U.S. strikes, challenging President Trump over his actions. Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the administration and pledged a floor vote to curb potential military escalation. The move signals a partisan push to constrain presidential authority in U.S.-Iran tensions.
