The House overwhelmingly passed a resolution on April 18 condemning Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel over the weekend.
The final tally was 404–14 with one Republican and 13 Democrats voting against it.
In addition to condemning the attack, the resolution, introduced by Rep.

The resolution also “calls on all countries to unequivocally condemn Iran’s attack on Israel; commends the United States military, the United Kingdom, France, and Jordan for intercepting Iranian missiles and drones and thereby limiting the damage from this unprecedented attack on Israel; [and] reaffirms the United States commitment to Israel’s security, including through security assistance and defense sales.”…
