Outcry after $1.15tn defense bill passes in the House – US politics live

The House passed a $1.15 trillion defense policy bill as lawmakers voted 214-208 to approve a war powers resolution curbing military action against Iran, with four Republicans joining all Democrats in support. The vote comes after the Trump administration continued military operations against Iran despite Congress passing similar resolutions in June with bipartisan support. Global oil prices exceeded $100 per barrel for the first time since May amid escalating Middle East violence, including Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping that the administration blamed on Iran.
