Holy hell, they finally found their ovaries
In a first, #House votes to block #Trump from ordering further #strikes on #Iran
The #Senate advanced a similar #WarPowers resolution last month on a procedural vote, reflecting growing impatience with a conflict #Congress hasn’t authorized.

The senior #US official said the proposal would reopen the #StraitOfHormuz in the Persian Gulf — a critical waterway for global #oil & #gas — & see #Iran commit to disposing of its stockpiles of highly enriched #uranium. The mechanism by which Iran will dispose of its highly enriched uranium is still being negotiated, the official said. #Trump has insisted that the #UnitedStates seize the material as part of his vow to curb Iran’s nuclear program.
So much for the “deal”
#US targets #Iran missile launch sites & boats in "self-defense" strikes
The US #military conducted “self-defense strikes” [not a thing] targeting Iranian missile launch sites & boats around the #StraitOfHormuz Monday amid a “ceasefire” between the 2 countries & ongoing negotiations to end the #war, according to CENTCOM.

For *all* countries, #Crypto is a threat to #NationalSecurity.
For most countries, #FossilFuels like #Oil 🛢️ and #Gas constitute a threat to national security *as well as* the global economy!

#US & #Iran Agree “In Principle” to Reopen #StraitOfHormuz, US Official Says
The official said Iran had also agreed to dispose of highly enriched #uranium, but stressed that a deal had not yet been signed. US & Iranian officials have described the terms differently.

Could be another #MarketManipulation or even just that Trump is feeling like he’s not getting enough attention.
