The House overwhelmingly passed a national security supplemental package that combines multiple pieces of legislation seeking to bolster U.S. security as well as force sanctions on Iran after an attack on Israel last weekend. 

Lawmakers voted 360-58 to advance the 21st Century Peace through Strength Act, one of the bills in Speaker Mike Johnson’s four-pronged foreign aid package being voted on by the House on Saturday. The other three bills provide funds to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, while the fourth bill focused solely on strengthening U.S. national security.
