The Republican-led House voted to halt the U.S. war with Iran, breaking with President Donald Trump on an unpopular foreign conflict that is taking an escalating economic toll on Americans.

The 215-208 vote Wednesday shows worries over the war spreading in the president’s own party five months before congressional elections. Last month, a Senate resolution to end the war also advanced past a procedural hurdle for the first time, though that legislation hasn’t yet come to a formal vote.

The House vote won’t end U.S. military attacks on Iran. The Senate would still have to pass the resolution and provisions in the 1973 War Powers Act that the House invoked are legally controversial anyway.
