İran Savaşında Tırmanış: Körfez’de Drone Saldırıları, ABD’de Savaş Yetkisi Gerilimi
ABD ve İsrail’in İran’a yönelik askeri operasyonları sürerken, Suudi Arabistan ve Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri’ne (BAE) düzenlenen drone saldırıları bölgesel gerilimi artırdı. BAE’de bir nükleer santralde yangın çıkarken, Suudi Arabistan üç drone’u engellediğini açıkladı. Diplomasi çabaları ise çıkmazda; İran müzakere sinyali verse de henüz bir anlaşma sağlanamadı. Bu arada İsrail’in Lübnan’daki saldırılarında ölenlerin sayısı 3.100’ü aştı. Pakistan, savunma anlaşması kapsamında Suudi Arabistan’a savaş uçakları ve binlerce asker gönderirken, hac ibadeti saldırılara rağmen 1,5 milyon kişinin katılımıyla devam etti. Çin ise bölgedeki risklere karşın BAE’de 5 milyar dolarlık havacılık kompleksi inşaatına başladı. ABD iç siyasetinde savaş karşıtı sesler yükseliyor. Senato, Başkan Trump’ın İran’daki savaş yetkilerini sınırlayan sembolik bir tasarıyı ilerletirken, Temsilciler Meclisi’ndeki oylama son anda iptal edildi. Eski Trump müttefiki Marjorie Taylor Greene, İran’a asker konuşlandırılmasına karşı “siyasi devrim” tehdidinde bulundu. Anketlere göre Amerikalıların çoğunluğu savaşın başlatılmasını hata olarak görüyor; akaryakıt fiyatlarındaki artış ekonomik hoşnutsuzluğu körüklüyor. Avrupa ekonomisi de yükselen enerji maliyetleri nedeniyle daralma ve enflasyon baskısı altında. Körfez ülkeleri tırmanıştan duydukları rahatsızlığı dile getirerek Trump’ı diplomasiye yönlendirmeye çalışıyor. Suudi Arabistan, BAE ve Katar, yeni bir çatışmanın bölge ekonomilerini istikrarsızlaştıracağı uyarısında bulundu. Öte yandan Trump, Venezüella petrol gelirlerinin savaş maliyetini fazlasıyla karşıladığını iddia etti. Senatör Lindsey Graham ise İran savaşının sona ermesi için Suudi Arabistan’ın İbrahim Anlaşmaları’na katılmasını şart koştu. BAE’nin savaş sürecinde Şii Pakistanlıları sınır dışı etmesi ise insan hakları eleştirilerine yol açtı.

Former Trump ally threatens ‘political revolution’ against US troop deployment to Iran
Former Trump ally threatens ‘political revolution’ against US troop deployment to Iran Former US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene warned that any decision to deploy American troops to Iran would trigger what she described as a “political revolution” in the United States. In a post on X, the former ally of US President Donald Trump wrote: “WE. ARE. DONE.” “We said no more foreign wars and we meant it. The coalition will unite and be unstoppable. I’ll make sure of it,” she said. Her comments came amid reports that the US and Israel were considering renewed military action against Iran. If you send in U.S. military troops into Iran, there is going to be a political revolution in America. May 17, 2026

US senator blames Trump’s Iran war for surge in fuel prices
US senator blames Trump’s Iran war for surge in fuel prices A Democratic lawmaker has condemned the US-Israeli war on Iran, linking the conflict to rising fuel costs across the United States. Senator Chris Murphy said prices in his home state of Connecticut have surged, placing pressure on households already facing economic strain. In a video posted on X, he said petrol is nearing $5 per gallon, while diesel is close to $6. “The only reason the prices are this high is because of Donald Trump’s war of choice, a disastrous war that isn’t making us any safer but is driving up the price of everything,” Murphy said. The criticism comes as political pressure mounts on Trump and Republicans ahead of the midterm elections.

On the cusp of reining in Trump, House Republicans cancel war powers vote
On the cusp of reining in Trump, House Republicans cancel war powers vote Yasmine El-Sabawi on Fri, 05/22/2026 - 18:01 The unexpected move on Thursday came as the Senate advanced a similar resolution US House Speaker Mike Johnson talks with reporters outside his office on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on 14 May 2026 (Kylie Cooper/Reuters) Off The Republican-led House of Representatives on Thursday unexpectedly cancelled a war powers vote that could have reined in US President Donald Trump's ability to resume hostilities against Iran. It was to be the fourth attempt under the 1973 War Powers Act since February. The vote was scheduled to be among the last on the agenda before lawmakers went away for the extended Memorial Day holiday - and it was likely to be a successful one, given a similar vote held just a week ago came down to a 212-212 tie, when three Republicans joined Democrats in support of asserting congressional authority over war. "We had the votes to pass it today. Every Democrat was on board. We had the sufficient number of Republicans on board,” Congressman Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told reporters on Thursday. "Republicans pulled this vote because they knew they were going to lose it. They know this war is a political and strategic disaster," he added. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Congressman Steve Scalise, the House Majority Leader, told reporters the vote is being delayed until next month because several Republican lawmakers have been absent and therefore unable to vote. Earlier this week, the Senate advanced its own war powers resolution 50-47, but that was because three Republicans were not present to vote. Among them was Thom Tillis, who is no longer running for re-election after becoming a target of Trump's attacks, and John Cornyn, who lost Trump's endorsement for his Texas primary this week to an opponent far more loyal to the president. What the law says The 1973 War Powers Act allows any senator to introduce a resolution to withdraw US armed forces from a conflict not authorised by Congress. The legislative branch, which acts as the country’s purse, is supposed to be the one that declares war - not the executive branch. "There are some things about the Constitution [that] are not clear [but] this point is crystal, crystal clear," Chris Edelson, a constitutional scholar at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, told Middle East Eye. Why some Democrats are trying to curb a war powers vote on Trump's Iran strikes Read More » "The framers of the Constitution debated war power. They gave Congress the power to declare war," he said. "The one exception was if the United States is attacked, the president could act to defend the country... and of course that's not what happened here." Since the 9/11 attacks in particular, the foggy nature of the so-called "war on terror" has enabled the White House to call the shots, especially as Washington has carried out air strikes in countries from Somalia to Pakistan without an official declaration of war. The 1973 statute notably does make room for the president to take 60 days of military action before either formally ending hostilities, seeking authorisation from Congress, or asking for an extension for another 30 days - though Edelson argued that it is too "ambiguously worded" to be a law that supercedes the Constitution itself. On 30 April, some three weeks after Pakistan brokered a ceasefire between the US and Iran, a US administration official told the Reuters news agency: "For War Powers Resolution purposes, the hostilities that began on Saturday, February 28, have terminated." It followed remarks at a Senate hearing by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who indicated that the 60-day war window for the president is automatically frozen when a ceasefire is called. Democrats, and some Republicans, rejected that assessment. While the ceasefire has held, it remains fragile, with Trump just this week calling off the resumption of a "full, large scale" war on Iran, after Gulf leaders urged him to hold off until after the Hajj season. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); At the start of the year, not all those on the Democratic side were against a war on Iran. In the weeks leading up to the first strikes on 28 February, reports emerged that Democratic leadership was trying to curb efforts to impose congressional war powers. Establishment Democrats, many of whom failed to condemn Israel for what the world's foremost scholars and the United Nations have called a genocide in Gaza, have also not shied away from consistent condemnation of Iran. They believe that if not now, then at some point it would have to be confronted militarily anyway. That outlook changed as multiple polls demonstrated the war's unpopularity among the American public, followed by a steep rise in petrol prices just as the spring and summer road trip season was kicking off. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); "It's clear it didn't go well. Who wants to be seen as supporting this?" Edelson told MEE. "I mean, there are Republicans who do, but even for some Republicans, it's getting hard." The November midterms, which are congressional, gubernatorial, and local elections held halfway through a president's term, will be the first major litmus test of Trump's second presidency. In 2020, after Trump targeted and killed top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani, both the House and Senate voted to limit his war powers. Trump vetoed the resolution.

Trump says US earned back Iran war costs through Venezuela oil
Trump says US earned back Iran war costs through Venezuela oil US President Donald Trump said revenues from Venezuelan oil had more than offset the cost of the US war on Iran, claiming the gains had paid for the conflict “about 25 times over”. Speaking during a public address, Trump pointed to US actions involving Venezuela as evidence that his administration’s policies had produced significant economic benefits. “How did we do in Venezuela? Not bad,” Trump said. “We’ve taken out so much oil in Venezuela, we paid for the cost of the war [on Iran] about 25 times over.” The Pentagon said earlier this month that the US military campaign against Iran had cost about $29 billion, although some estimates have placed the total figure substantially higher.

Lindsey Graham says Saudi Arabia must join Abraham Accords to end Israeli-US war on Iran
Lindsey Graham says Saudi Arabia must join Abraham Accords to end Israeli-US war on Iran US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has threatened Saudi Arabia and other Arab and Muslim countries to join the Abraham Accords as a price to pay to pay for ending the Israeli-US war on Iran. “If in fact as a result of these negotiations to end the Iranian conflict, our Arab and Muslim allies in the region agreed to join the Abraham Accords, it would make this agreement one of the most consequential in the history of the Middle East,” Graham said in a post on X. He described the possible inclusion of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Pakistan as “beyond transformative for the region and world”, calling it “a brilliant move by President Trump”. Graham also warned Saudi Arabia and others against rejecting the proposal. “To Saudi Arabia and others: Now is the time to be bold for the future of a new Middle East,” he said. “If you refuse to go down this path as suggested by President Trump, it will have severe repercussions for our future relationships and make this peace proposal unacceptable.” He added that such a refusal “would be seen by history as a major miscalculation”. Graham urged Trump to hold firm in talks with Iran and in pressing regional states to normalise relations with Israel. “President Trump: Stick to your guns in getting a good deal with Iran,” Graham said. “Equally important, stick to your guns in insisting Saudi Arabia and others join the Abraham Accords as part of these negotiations.”

UAE deports Pakistani Shiites: jobs lost and savings frozen amid Iran war
In a cluster of villages in Pakistan’s largely rural Chakwal district, more than 100 Shiite Muslims have returned from the United Arab Emirates without jobs, luggage or access to the savings they spent years building abroad. They are among potentially thousands of Shi’ites deported from the UAE to Pakistan during the Iran war, raising alarm in Pakistan’s Shiite community and prompting Human Rights Watch to investigate. Journalists reviewed immigration documents, visa-status screenshots and...
