President Donald Trump has faced a significant challenge from within his own party over his administration's approach to Iran. Four Republican lawmakers aligned with Democrats to pass a largely symbolic resolution that aims to curb Trump's military actions against the Islamic Republic.
The resolution directs the president to cease hostilities with Iran or obtain explicit authorization from Congress to continue military engagement.
