United States House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday said that the House will vote to limit US President Donald Trump's military actions with regards to Iran. Amid mounting tension in West Asia following the US strike that killed a top Iranian general in Iraq.

"As Members of Congress, our first responsibility is to keep the American people safe. For this reason, we are concerned that the Administration took this action without the consultation of Congress and without respect for Congress's war powers granted to it by the Constitution," Pelosi said in a letter to House Democrats, as cited by CNN.

The letter added that the House will introduce a War Powers Resolution to limit President Trump's military action regarding Iran and will subsequently vote on it. This resolution is similar to the resolution introduced by Senator Tim Kaine in the Senate," elaborated the letter.

"General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region," it added.
