By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) – The US Senate on Thursday narrowly rejected a resolution demanding President Donald Trump end the war in Iran or seek congressional authorization, as Democrats sought to put Republicans on the defensive over the unpopular conflict before November’s midterm elections. With polls showing Trump’s Republicans struggling to keep their slim congressional majorities on November 3, more of them have been edging away from the war, which has pushed up food and fuel prices. However, Thursday’s Senate vote was 50-49 against the resolution, largely along party lines. Four Republicans — Senators Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — voted in favor. Tillis, who is leaving the Senate in January, was the only Republican to vote in favor of a war powers resolution for the first time. Republicans in competitive reelection races, including Jon Husted of Ohio, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Pete Ricketts of Nebraska and Darline Graham of South Carolina stuck with Trump. One Democrat, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, voted against the resolution, which passed the House of Representatives in July.
By Timour Azhari and Hatem Maher RIYADH, Sept 25 ( By Timour Azhari and Hatem Maher RIYADH, Sept 25 (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia’s top religious authority called on soldiers in the kingdom to be ready to lay down their lives to fight the Iran-backed Houthis until the group is ousted from power, a statement posted on the Saudi state news agency said. The rare and strongly worded message by Saudi Grand Mufti Sheikh Saleh bin Fawzan Al-Fawzan was addressed to soldiers stationed at the country’s borders and drew heavily on Quranic verses and recorded sayings of the Prophet Mohammad related to sacrifice and struggle in defence of God. It comes after weeks of escalating violence between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis which has seen the Iran-backed group attack the kingdom with salvos of missiles and drones and Saudi Arabia respond with airstrikes. Observers have been questioning whether Saudi Arabia will launch a broader military operation along with Yemeni government forces it backs. “Protecting this great nation… and punishing anyone who seeks to lay a hand on even an inch of its territory are among the greatest duties and most virtuous acts of devotion, for which lives and souls may be sacrificed in seeking God’s pleasure,” said the statement, issued late Thursday. Asserting the authority of the Saudi-backed internationally recognized Yemeni government over the entire country was “among the most pressing obligations,” it added. Those government forces lost control of the vital Bab el-Mandeb waterway to the Houthis two weeks back, a blow to the kingdom, which has been mired in the conflict since 2015 after it launched an unsuccessful operation to oust the Houthis from the Yemeni capital Sanaa. The recent fighting is the latest episode in 12 years of civil war in Yemen which had largely been frozen since a 2022 but has escalated again and has become linked to the wider Iran war. “We ask God Almighty to grant you all his support, and to protect our countries and beloved Yemen from all harm. We also ask him to bring about the complete defeat of the Houthi group and those who assist and support them,” the statement said.
Sept 24 (Reuters) – British Foreign Secretary Ed M Sept 24 (Reuters) – British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in a meeting that Britain will “not tolerate intimidation, threats or hostile activity on UK soil” from groups linked to his country, Sky News reported on Thursday. Miliband and Araqchi met on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the report said, citing Britain’s foreign office. Miliband and Araqchi discussed the war in the Middle East, the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz and Britain’s “unwavering resolve to combat threats from Iranian-linked groups in UK soil”, the report added. Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre said last week Iranian state-linked cyber actors had used a spyware family known as “CHOSEN BRICK” to steal emails, messages and other sensitive information through “spear-phishing” campaigns on messaging platforms including WhatsApp and Telegram. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. (Reporting by Gnaneshwar Rajan in Bengaluru; Editing by Stephen Coates)
By Samia Nakhoul, Parisa Hafezi and John Irish Sep By Samia Nakhoul, Parisa Hafezi and John Irish Sept 24 (Reuters) – US and Iranian negotiators in New York are exploring a phased path out of war that would involve Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and Washington lifting its economic blockade of Iran, sources close to the talks said. The strait has become the central bargaining chip in efforts to end the nearly seven-month US-Iran conflict, with Iran seeking relief from the US blockade that is choking its economy and Washington seeking free passage for ships on the global oil supply route now blocked by Tehran. The talks face a big obstacle as neither side wants to be the first to surrender its leverage, according to comments to Reuters by two Iranian sources, two regional officials and two Western diplomatic sources, but behind Iran‘s stance is a recognition of the economic cost of prolonged confrontation. A senior Iranian official said the most plausible way to end the impasse would be a phased arrangement, with Iran allowing navigation through Hormuz in return for the US lifting its economic blockade and Tehran potentially gaining access to frozen assets. “One way forward would be to solve the crisis in stages. The first would be to end the blockade and reopen Hormuz,” he said on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
By Federico Maccioni and Timour Azhari DUBAI/RIYAD By Federico Maccioni and Timour Azhari DUBAI/RIYADH, Sept 24 (Reuters) – Iranian flights to the Persian Gulf neighbors including travel hub Dubai appeared to have been cancelled on Thursday after a US deadline passed for global firms to halt work with Iran‘s airlines, a major step in a campaign President Donald Trump calls “economic D-Day”. In Saudi Arabia, where an escalating conflict with Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi fighters this month has become the main front in the wider Middle East war, authorities said they had intercepted six ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis. With the US-Israeli war against Iran largely stalemated for months on the battlefield, Washington has announced a shift in tactics to extend the reach of its financial sanctions by targeting companies from third countries that do business with Iranian firms, a practice known as “secondary sanctions”. Trump referred to the new strategy last month as “economic D-Day”, comparing it to the assault on Nazi-controlled France in World War Two by the United States and its allies. The US Treasury had set September 23 as the deadline for companies worldwide to comply with an order to stop doing business with Iranian airlines. Washington says the aim is to ground the entire global Iranian civilian fleet. Iran threatened on Wednesday to retaliate against any neighbouring countries that comply with the US ban on its flights, by making their airports “unusable”. There were no immediate public announcements from countries that they were halting flights, but Iran‘s ISNA news agency said all flights to the United Arab Emirates, the Persian Gulf’s biggest travel hub, had been halted as of midnight. No arrivals or departures to Iran were visible on the website of Dubai or Abu Dhabi airports on Thursday. Websites of at least two Iranian airlines, Qeshm and Varesh, showed UAE flights had been cancelled. The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority and Dubai Civil Aviation Authority did not respond to requests for comment.
UNMUTE 🔊 By Katty Biglari Sept. 23 - Shadi Yousef UNMUTE 🔊 By Katty Biglari Sept. 23 - Shadi Yousefian is a multi-disciplinary Iranian-born artist who has channeled the emotions of a generation of Iranians in exile into an extensive body of work. Yousefian joined Kayhan Life for a recent conversation. The first series that you produced were self-portraits. Describe your state of mind at the time. When I created the Self-Portraits series, I felt caught between my Iranian past and a new Western identity. I no longer felt that I fully belonged to either place. I expressed this fragmented identity by cutting and collaging negatives into new compositions, using the process to reflect my experience of living with a “double identity.” Continues as a free article on KayhanlLife.com @shadi.yousefian @katty_biglari @advocartsy @lacma #shadiyousefian #kayhanlifeinterviews
