Since the attack, four U.S. service members have died from Iran-launched strikes, and Trump attended a dignified transfer for them. The vote saw support from four Republican members-Tom barrett, Warren Davidson, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Thomas Massie-along with all Democrats, highlighting a rare setback for House Speaker Mike Johnson, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >broader legislative efforts faced narrow margins<\/a>.The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/netanyahu-targeted-by-hezbollah-drone-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Netanyahu targeted by Hezbollah drone - Washington Examiner\">incident underscores ongoing tensions<\/a> over U.S. military engagement in Iran.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/house-republicans\/\">House Republicans<\/a> broke with the rest of their party on Thursday to back an end to the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\">Iran war<\/a>, the first vote since several American troops were killed after fighting resumed earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outcome was unchanged from a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4576195\/house-clears-resolution-to-rein-in-trumps-war-powers\/\">vote taken in June<\/a>, when House Democrats successfully passed a resolution directing President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> to end hostilities or seek congressional approval for the war.
