  • The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution demanding President Trump end the conflict with Iran.
  • The resolution, supported by some Republicans and Democrats, is largely symbolic due to Trump's veto power.
  • President Trump stated that negotiations with Iran are progressing well and could yield results soon, though Iran's Foreign Minister reported no specific progress.

In a significant political move, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a resolution calling for the withdrawal of American troops from the conflict with Iran. This resolution, which passed with bipartisan support including four Republicans, represents a political challenge to President Donald Trump, who initiated the conflict in late February. The vote was 215 in favor to 208 against.

This is a strong and clear message sent to (President) Donald Trump on behalf of the American people: it is time to end the illegal and deeply unpopular war he chose in Iran.

โ€” Democratic lawmakers on the House Foreign Affairs CommitteeThe lawmakers commented on the resolution passed by the House demanding an end to the conflict with Iran.

Democratic lawmakers on the House Foreign Affairs Committee framed the resolution as a "strong and clear message" to President Trump, stating, "It is time to end the illegal and deeply unpopular war he chose in Iran." This marks the first time since the conflict began three months ago that the House, currently controlled by Republicans, has passed a resolution aimed at compelling Trump to scale back military operations against Tehran.

I hear the negotiations are going really well.

โ€” Donald TrumpThe U.S. President commented on the ongoing talks with Iran.

The Trump administration maintains that the conflict with Iran has effectively concluded, despite ongoing clashes and a lack of significant progress in peace talks. President Trump expressed optimism on June 3, telling reporters that negotiations were proceeding "very well" and could potentially lead to an agreement by the weekend. However, this assessment contrasts with remarks from Iran's Foreign Minister, who acknowledged open communication channels but reported no concrete advancements in the negotiations to end the Middle East conflict.

That could happen as soon as this weekend.

Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has denied responsibility for an attack on Kuwait International Airport that reportedly killed one Indian citizen and injured 63 others. An IRGC spokesperson stated that their air force did not target the airport, attributing the damage to a malfunction of a U.S. Patriot air defense system. The IRGC claimed they had targeted a different location, the Ali Al Salem air base, which houses U.S. helicopters.

communication channels with the US remain open, but there has been no specific progress.
