House Republicans have scrapped a planned vote to restrict President Donald Trump's war powers in Iran, according to reports from Axios and CNBC.
The move comes as Trump continues to face challenges in securing congressional backing for military actions tied to Iran.
The failed vote highlights the difficulty of curbing executive authority in a polarized political environment.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route, remains a focal point of geopolitical tension.
Recent developments, including Trump's rejection of Iran's offer to reopen the strait, have kept the region under scrutiny.
The lack of legislative action to limit military engagement may prolong the current standoff.
