On July 23, 2026, the US House of Representatives passed a resolution urging President Trump to end military hostilities in Iran.
This move signals growing congressional resistance to unilateral military decisions in the ongoing conflict.
Though mostly symbolic, the resolution reflects bipartisan concern over escalating tensions and attempts to limit executive war powers.
Markets have responded cautiously, showing signs of reduced chances for a full closure of Iranian airspace despite a slight uptick in odds by the end of July.
Investors remain watchful for any announcements from President Trump or officials that might hint at a strategic shift.
Meanwhile, monitoring Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization and related airspace alerts is key for assessing the risk of a complete shutdown.
This development unfolds as political strain persists, with Congress increasingly stepping in to check military actions under the War Powers framework.
