Political columnist David William Pear calls it encouraging the action taken by the US House of Representatives to restrict President Donald Trump’s authority to launch military operations against Iran.

"It is encouraging, but I must say that I'm not getting too excited about it because unfortunately there is still a lot warmongers that want to go to war with Iran and it doesn't solve the situation  of the economic sanctions which are totally illegal under the international law," he said.

The US House of Representatives has voted to limit President Donald Trump's power to attack Iran, expressing concern that such hawkish policies are pushing toward an unnecessary war.

The Democratic-led House approved an amendment on a broad defense bill Friday that would require the president to obtain Congress’s approval before he can authorize military force against Tehran.
