On June 3rd, the Associated Press reported that the US House of Representatives passed a resolution by a vote of 215-208 requiring an end to US military action in Iran. Four Republican lawmakers joined Democrats in support, marking the first successful congressional vote to restrict Trump's Iran war powers. The resolution demands the president withdraw US forces from hostile actions against Iran without a congressional declaration of war or explicit authorization.
As per the rules requiring resolution by both houses, the current progress depends on the next steps in the Senate. CBS reported on May 19th that the Senate previously passed a motion by only 50-47 to advance the Iran war powers resolution led by Tim Kaine out of committee. Axios mentioned on June 3rd that the next procedural vote is expected to fail after attendance returns to full; PolitiFact also noted on June 4th that if all members vote, the Senate still needs 60 votes to reach a final vote, requiring 10 more votes than on May 19th. Additionally, both chambers currently have separate versions of the resolution text, which may require text reconciliation and a revote.

Japan shares extend losses as rate uncertainty, geopolitical woes curb appetite
Updates with closing prices By Satoshi Sugiyama TOKYO, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Japanese shares fell more than 1% on Thursday, down for a second consecutive session, as investors paused after recent rallies, wary of the US rate outlook, higher yields and geopolitical tensions. The Nikkei 225 Index .N225 fell 1.42% to close at 69,042.11, while the broader Topix .TOPX slid 1.51% to 4,091.46. "Japanese shares had risen at a rapid pace through yesterday, and profit-taking has since picked up. That selling pressure appears to be continuing today," said Hiroki Takei, strategist at Resona Holdings. Japanese AI-related shares were subdued even after Samsung Electronics 005930.KS, the world's largest memory chipmaker, projected a nearly ninefold jump in third-quarter operating profit from the same period last year. Shares of chipmaker Rohm 6963.T lost 5.19%, the biggest percentage drag in nearly a month, while technology investor SoftBank Group 9984.T shed 4.28% and Tokyo Electron 8035.T dropped 2.48%. Concerns over US monetary policy remained in focus after Federal Reserve minutes released on Wednesday showed most participants signalling another rate hike by year-end. Market participants remained wary of French and Italian debt markets, with rising energy prices and fiscal concerns keeping sentiment fragile. Geopolitical tensions also dampened risk appetite, as increased attacks on shipping in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz fuelled concerns over Middle East oil supplies and pushed crude prices higher. Breadth was negative, with 165 decliners in the Nikkei 225 against 56 advancers and four unchanged. The largest percentage losers in the Nikkei were semiconductor silicon wafer supplier Sumco 3436.T, down 5.73%, followed by construction machinery maker Komatsu 6301.T, down 5.52%, and agricultural machinery and equipment maker Kubota Corporation 6326.T, down 5.42%. The largest percentage gainers were cybersecurity software company Trend Micro 4704.T, up 3.89%, followed by IT consulting firm Nomura Research Institute 4307.T, whic
