House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has thrown down the gauntlet on President Donald Trump’s ability to strike Iran, vowing to hold a vote this week “to limit the president’s military actions against Iran” following the assassination of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani last week.
Al-Monitor has learned that Democratic leaders are also considering holding votes on two other provisions that they had dropped from a compromise defense authorization bill last month amid opposition from the White House and Senate Republicans.
