The U.S. House of Representatives voted yesterday 215-208, with four Republicans joining the Democrats, to withdraw forces from the Iranian conflict. The bill now moves to the Senate, though the ability of Congress to force the executive to move troops is a contested legal question.
Iran barraged Kuwait with missiles and drones yesterday, killing one civilian and striking Kuwait’s international airport. This was one of Iran’s biggest attacks on America’s Gulf Arab allies since the ceasefire went into effect.
President Donald Trump said he would like to meet Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, the New York Post reported yesterday. Asked about this in an interview, Trump said: “I would like to meet him, and we probably will meet at some point, depending on how it all works out.”
