WASHINGTON, June 3 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to restrict U.S. President Donald Trump's authority to continue military operations against Iran, with four Republicans joining Democrats.

The resolution, which passed 215-208, directed Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from the war against Iran unless Congress authorizes further military action.

Trump was overwhelmingly backed by his fellow Republicans when the war started. However, as the war dragged on with no clear end in sight, some Republicans began to waver.
