UNITED STATES President Donald Trump suffered a massive rebuke on Wednesday as members of the House of Representatives voted to approve a war powers resolution that would halt the illegal and unprovoked US military action against Iran.

It was the first time that the house had voted to defy Mr Trump, as a handful of Republicans joined Democrats to end the three-month conflict.

House Speaker Mike Johnson had tried to abruptly shut down debate two weeks ago when the resolution was on the verge of approval. But he was unable to repeat the feat on Wednesday.
