US Senate Votes to Continue Iran War, Oil Tops $100, Houthi Attacks Return

US Senate Votes to Continue Iran War, Oil Tops $100, Houthi Attacks Return

The political battle over the Iran war reaches a turning point as the US Senate narrowly votes to keep military operations going, rejecting a War Powers Resolution that would have limited President Trump's authority. We break down what the 47–49 vote means for the future of the conflict, why opposition in Congress is growing, and how Washington's divisions could shape the next phase of the war.

On the battlefield, the United States launches a thirteenth consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran while President Trump signals he is moving closer to a major attack on the heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility. We examine the military strategy, the risks of escalation, and the latest intelligence surrounding Iran's nuclear programme.

The conflict expands at sea as Yemen's Houthi movement resumes attacks on commercial shipping, striking Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea and opening a second maritime front alongside the Strait of Hormuz. With Brent crude climbing above $100 per barrel for the first time in months, we explore the global economic impact, the energy crisis, and why oil markets are reacting so sharply.

• The latest US and Iranian casualty figures and the Pentagon reporting discrepancy
• Trump's choice between a proposed ceasefire and a wider regional offensive
• CENTCOM's latest strikes across Iran
• The National Defense Authorization Act and the growing political divide in Washington
• Lebanon, Hezbollah and the latest diplomatic developments
