On September 15, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 220-204 to pass House Concurrent Resolution 93, a war powers measure calling for the cessation of unauthorized military actions against Iran. During the preceding floor debate, several lawmakers characterized the ongoing hostilities as a strategic failure, citing assertions regarding depleted weapons stockpiles and estimated costs exceeding $100 billion.

This action follows the passage of two previous war powers resolutions earlier in the year intended to limit executive authority regarding military engagements with Iran.
