House Votes Again to End Iran War as Houthis Target Mecca

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
This repeated vote shows Congress is finally listening to the public's war fatigue, but symbolic gestures won't stop Houthi drones unless backed by real policy change.
💡 Why it matters
With midterms approaching, this vote pressures the administration to de-escalate, while the Mecca attack underscores the risk of a wider regional conflict.

The US House of Representatives voted for a third time to end the war with Iran, a symbolic move likely the last before midterms. Saudi air defenses intercepted a Houthi drone south of Mecca, highlighting the regional threat.
