Pelosi: House to pass resolution aimed at limiting Trump’s military powers in Iran

Nancy Pelosi just told reporters that the House will pass a war powers resolution aimed at limiting Trump’s military actions in Iran.

"Last week, in our view, the administration conducted a provocative disproportionate airstrike against Iran, which endangered Americans and did so without consulting congress. When I was informed of this attack that the administration took responsibility for over the weekend, I said 'why did you not consult with congress'," Pelosi said. 

"You have a responsibility to consult with Congress," she continued. 

"So here we are to protect American lives and values we are passing today a war powers resolution to limit the president's military actions. The administration must de-escalate and must prevent further violence - America and the world cannot afford war," Pelosi said. 

Trump has called on Republicans to vote against the resolution, which will face an uncertain future in the Senate.
