House follows Senate action as it votes to let Trump's Operation Epic Fury continue in Iran

The House of Representatives voted to allow President Donald Trump to continue Operation Epic Fury in Iran on Thursday.

The resolution was introduced by Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif. Several Democrats joined all Republicans except two, Massie and Warren Davidson of Ohio, who voted against it. 

The vote in the House was 212-219. 

The resolution was aimed at blocking Trump from continuing to use the Armed Forces in the joint U.S.-Israeli operation in Iran. The Senate blocked the resolution on Wednesday.

The Trump administration, and now a vast majority of Republicans in Congress as well, argue that the president has acted within his authority as commander in chief, according to Fox News.
