US Congress set to debate Trump’s Iran war powers

The United States Congress will this week debate and vote on resolutions seeking to limit President Donald Trump’s authority to continue military operations against Iran without explicit approval from lawmakers. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate are preparing separate but similar war powers measures, which would require Trump to seek congressional authorisation if he wants to expand or prolong the war beyond the 60 day window allowed under the 1973 War Powers Act. The push gained momentum after the US, working with Israel, launched major strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top officials, triggering Iranian missile attacks on US bases and allies across the Middle East. Democrats and a handful of Republicans argue that Congress, not the president, holds the constitutional power to declare war, and warn that Trump has steadily expanded executive […]

Iran in Crisis After Khamenei’s Death

The reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the opening phase of joint US-Israeli air strikes has plunged the Islamic Republic into its most fragile position since the 1979 revolution. The operation—described by Washington as a decisive attempt to dismantle Iran’s command structure—targeted senior military and political figures. By Saturday night, widespread reports of Khamenei’s death triggered rare scenes of public reaction, including small celebrations in parts of Iran and among diaspora communities abroad. For many critics of the regime, the development signaled a historic rupture. US President Donald Trump urged Iranians to “take over your government,” while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested regime change was both achievable and desirable. The military campaign, dubbed Operation Epic Fury by US officials, appeared tightly coordinated. However, the political consequences inside Iran remain uncertain and potentially volatile. On Sunday, Iranian […]

Oil Prices Jump Amid Strait of Hormuz Crisis

Global oil prices climbed sharply after Iran intensified strikes across the Middle East, raising fears of disruption to energy supplies. Brent crude, the international benchmark, jumped 10% on Monday to briefly exceed $82 per barrel following reports that at least three vessels were attacked near the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend. Natural gas prices also surged by up to 25% amid concerns about supply constraints. Iran warned commercial vessels against passing through the strategic waterway, through which roughly 20% of global oil and gas shipments transit. Shipping activity at the entrance to the strait has slowed dramatically, with analysts cautioning that a prolonged disruption could drive energy prices significantly higher. In the UK, the FTSE 100 opened nearly 1% lower, with airline shares hit by widespread airspace closures across the Middle East. European markets experienced sharper losses: France’s CAC […]

Iranian Drone Crashes at UK Base in Cyprus

An Iranian drone crashed inside the British military base at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus around midnight on Sunday, according to Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides. No injuries were reported and damage was described as minimal.

Israel strikes Hezbollah in Lebanon after attacks, widening Iran war

Israel has launched air strikes across Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions after the Iran backed group fired missiles and drones at Israeli territory in response to the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Israeli military said it struck Hezbollah sites nationwide, including in the Shiite group’s stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut, as part of a broader campaign that also includes ongoing strikes on Iranian targets. Explosions rocked Beirut in the early hours, sending residents fleeing by car and on foot, while smoke was seen rising from areas hit in and around the capital. Israel said at least one projectile launched from Lebanon was intercepted, while others fell in open areas without causing major damage, and warned that it holds Hezbollah fully responsible for any escalation along the border. The strikes on Lebanon come as U S […]

Khamenei’s daughter, in laws, granddaughter killed in US Israel strikes

Iranian media have reported that several close relatives of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were killed in the recent United States and Israeli strikes on the country. Reports said his daughter, son in law and granddaughter died in the attacks, alongside other senior figures targeted in strikes on Tehran and key leadership locations. State linked outlets, quoting sources within the Supreme Leader’s household, said they had confirmed the “martyrdom” of these family members following the bombardment. The deaths came during the same operation in which Khamenei himself and other top military and political leaders were reported killed, prompting Iran to declare 40 days of national mourning.​ Officials in Washington and Tel Aviv have not given specific public comment on the reported deaths of Khamenei’s relatives, maintaining that the operation was aimed at Iran’s leadership and strategic military infrastructure.

UN chief reacts to reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has expressed deep concern over reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in joint United States and Israeli airstrikes. Speaking at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, Guterres said he had received reports that the strikes on Tehran and other cities had resulted in the death of Khamenei and other senior Iranian figures, but stressed that the UN could not independently confirm the claim.

The UN chief condemned the scale of the U S and Israeli attacks on Iran and urged both sides, as well as Iran and its allies, to respect international law and prioritise the […]

US, Israel launch strikes on Iran, target leaders and military sites

The United States and Israel have launched coordinated military strikes on Iran, targeting senior leaders and key military sites in a major escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The attacks were carried out on Saturday across several Iranian cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, and Kermanshah, hitting command locations and strategic facilities.
