Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) spoke to reporters after the House blocked a war powers resolution that would have required congressional approval for any further military action against Iran. Speaker Johnson said he was grateful the resolution failed and maintained that the U.S. was not at war with Iran. He also briefly commented on Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX), who had faced calls not to seek reelection due to an ethics investigation into an affair he had with a staffer.
