Donald Trump loses Iran war resolution vote in stinging rebuke

Donald Trump could be forced to withdraw from the Iran war after a crucial vote in the US House of Representatives. The Iran war powers resolution would end the war or force the president to get approval from Congress to continue it.

Another six Republicans did not vote. The resolution is a stinging rebuke to Trump, especially given enough of his own party members were willing to vote against him. There were cheers in the House as the resolution passed. “A majority of Americans are sick and tired of this president’s reckless warmongering,” Democratic Congressma...

Iran says draft deal with US would reopen Hormuz shipping, end naval blockade

Iran's state TV says it has obtained a draft of an initial, unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding with the US on ending their conflict. Under the framework, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within a month, while the US would withdraw military forces from Iran's vicinity and lift a naval blockade. State TV said the framework, which excludes military vessels and envisages Iran managing ship traffic through the strait in cooperation with Oman, was not yet finalised and that Tehran would take no steps without "tangible verification".

Trump says US to ‘guide’ stranded ships through Strait of Hormuz

AFP via Getty Images The United States says it will on Monday begin trying to free merchant ships stranded by Iran's closure of the key shipping channel, the Strait of Hormuz, since the start of the war. US President Donald Trump said "Project Freedom" was a "humanitarian gesture" and that any interference would "be dealt with forcefully". Some 15,000 US service personnel, guided-missile destroyers and more than 100 aircraft would be involved, US Central Command (Centcom) said, adding that the US blockade of Iranian ports would continue. The move comes as the two countries observe a temporary ceasefire, which began on 8 April, and as they work on agreeing on a permanent peace plan. However a senior Iranian official warned that any US attempt to interfere in the str...

Iran offers to reopen Strait of Hormuz if US lifts its blockade and the war ends, officials say

Iran has offered to end its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the US lifting its blockade on the country and an end to the war, while proposing that discussions on the larger question of its nuclear program would come in a later phase, two regional officials say. US President Donald Trump seems unlikely to accept the offer, which was passed to the Americans by Pakistan and would leave unresolved the disagreements that led the US and Israel to go to war on February 28. With a fragile ceasefire in place, the US and Iran are locked in a standoff over the strait, through which a fifth of the world's traded oil and gas passes in peacetime. The US blockade is designed to prevent Iran from selling its oil, depriving it of crucial revenue while also potentially creating...

As tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz after US and Iran both fire at ships

The Strait of Hormuz was on lockdown on Monday after a tense weekend in which Iran was accused of attacking two Indian-flagged vessels and the U.S. Marines fired at and seized an Iranian-flagged ship. The escalating tensions over the vital passage for oil and international trade came amid a U.S. naval blockade of the strait and Iran's declaration on Sunday that it had closed the waterway after briefly reopening it. The heightening hostilities over the strait are occurring as Iran announced it will not send negotiators to Pakistan for a second round of peace talks with their U.S. counterparts, including Vice President JD Vance.

US war with Iran hints at limits of ‘Make Europe Great Again’ project, analysts say

President Donald Trump's announcement of a joint U.S.-Israeli surprise attack on Iran in February was met with little enthusiasm in Europe, where leaders were quick to warn of the political and economic turmoil that America's latest Middle East campaign would unleash. Seven weeks on, no European nations have joined the U.S.-Israeli war, despite near-constant pressure from Trump to do so. Some European nations have allowed U.S. forces to continue using key military bases to launch attacks and have taken part in defensive operations to shoot down Iranian munitions targeting regional bases and nations. But there appears to be little appetite for a full and open-ended entanglement with Iran among European voters, even those who support the nationalist, anti-establishment parties that have so...
