The United States President, Donald Trump, has taken a week to seek Congressional approval for continuing the ongoing war. Under the “War Powers Resolution,” the US President can initiate a war without Congressional approval, but it is necessary to obtain approval from Congress within 60 days. According to foreign media, public support for war in America is rapidly declining. At the same time, the US military has demanded an additional $200 billion for war efforts.
Ambassador Amir Saeed Ayyani sent letters to the UN Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council, expressing this stance. It is worth noting that two weeks ago, after 40 days of war, a ceasefire was imposed in Pakistan with the mediation of Pakistan, but the first round of negotiations between Tehran and Washington failed to produce any results. US President Donald Trump extended the ceasefire unilateral, saying that his administration would wait for Iran’s proposal for the second round of negotiations in Islamabad.
However, Tehran has not yet shown readiness for the second round of negotiations, and officials have described Washington’s demands and the “maritime blockade” against Iran as major obstacles to ending the war. According to American TV, President Trump has decided to send Steve Wietkof and Jared Kushner to Islamabad for negotiations.
Iranian media has published images of the Revolutionary Guards’ naval operations in the Strait of Hormuz. Lebanon has also been affected by the war, with a UN peace mission member dying in a recent bombing. Iran and the United Arab Emirates may take years to restore trust after the war. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that they will continue to pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
