Iran may close Strait of Hormuz if US decides to join war on Israeli side but does President Donald Trump have constitutional power to make a decision?
Iran has issued a strong warning about its strategic position in the Strait of Hormuz . The warning came amid growing tensions between Iran and Israel. The statement suggests Iran may act if the United States gets involved in the conflict. Iran Signals Possibility of Strait Closure Iranian Member of Parliament Ali Yazdikhah said that Iran has the right to close the Strait of Hormuz. He made this statement on Thursday. Yazdikhah explained this would happen only if the United States enters the conflict alongside Israel. The Strait of Hormuz is a key route for global oil shipments. Iran-Allied Group Issues Warning Abu Ali al-Askari, a spokesperson of a group allied with Iran, issued a warning. He said that if the United States supports Israel militarily, US assets in the region will face attacks. He mentioned US bases could come under fire and shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb might close. He also said that oil ports in the Red Sea would shut down. He warned of potential damage to US aircraft. Also Read: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Rivals Event: How to earn rewards?

She said President Donald Trump will make a decision in the next two weeks. The decision will depend on possible future negotiations with Iran. Trump shared that there is a chance for talks, but no clear plan has been made yet. Live Events Oil Market Reacts to Conflict Oil prices have increased due to rising tensions. Israel and Iran have continued to exchange missile strikes. On Thursday, Brent crude futures rose by $1.60 to reach $78.29 a barrel. US West Texas Intermediate crude also rose to $78.34. Oil prices had already peaked at $78.50 on June 13 when Israel launched attacks. Also Read: Iran Israel Conflict: Does Israel have a nuclear arsenal? All you may want to know If Strait of Hormuz Closes The Strait of Hormuz handles about 20 percent of the world's oil supply. If the strait is closed, oil supply may drop. That could raise the cost of goods and fuel. Trade, shipping, and travel might also slow down. What is US War Powers Act? The US Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, while the president is commander in chief. Presidents can respond to threats but need congressional approval for extended military action. A federal law limits presidential war powers, requiring Congress to be notified within 48 hours and consulted before troops are deployed, unless war is formally declared. FAQs Why is the Strait of Hormuz important? It carries 20 percent of global oil, so any disruption can affect prices and supply across the world. When will the US decide on involvement? President Trump is expected to decide within two weeks, based on whether talks with Iran may happen.

Iran Israel Conflict: Does Israel have a nuclear arsenal? All you may want to know
Israel's recent strikes on Iran have renewed international focus on its own nuclear capabilities. While Iran's nuclear ambitions are monitored and widely debated, Israel maintains a long-standing policy of ambiguity regarding its nuclear arsenal. This development has raised concerns among global analysts and non-proliferation experts. Israel Launches Strikes Israel launched attacks on Iran on Friday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran was close to developing a nuclear weapon. He stated that Israel had to act because a nuclear-armed Iran would pose a threat to the country. According to US Senator Mark Warner, who leads the Senate Intelligence Committee, the American view on Iran's nuclear program has not changed since March. The US intelligence community believes Iran has enriched uranium but has not decided to build a bomb. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: 1 simple trick to get all TV channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo Also Read: The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4: When will it release? Here's what to expect in upcoming season and all details about cast and production team Israel's Nuclear Policy Israel has never confirmed having nuclear weapons. Experts refer to this as a policy of 'opacity.' Jeffrey Lewis from the Middlebury Institute now calls it 'implausible deniability.' Live Events Israel is part of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) but has not signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Countries like India, Pakistan, North Korea, and South Sudan are also non-signatories. To join the treaty, Israel would need to give up any nuclear weapons. The NPT recognizes only five nuclear states: the United States, Britain, Russia, China and France. Historical Background Groups like the Federation of American Scientists estimate that Israel has about 90 nuclear warheads. Due to Israel's secrecy, it is difficult to confirm this number. Reports suggest that Israel began developing nuclear weapons after its founding in 1948. A 1969 US government memo revealed Israel agreed not to be the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the region, but the meaning remains unclear.

He was later jailed for treason. He claimed his actions were meant to protect Israel from future conflict. Groups monitoring nuclear arms argue that Israel's lack of transparency makes it harder to promote peaceful nuclear use in the Middle East. FAQs Why does Israel not confirm its nuclear weapons program? Israel follows a long-standing policy of ambiguity. This aims to maintain strategic advantage while avoiding direct international obligations or conflicts regarding nuclear disarmament. How might Israel's actions affect Iran's nuclear plans? Experts say Israel's strikes may push Iran to expand its nuclear efforts for defense, which could increase regional risks and fuel a nuclear arms race.

11-Month Battle Over AI Finally Ending As Striking Game Actors Reach Tentative Deal
A nearly year-long battle between SAG-AFTRA game actors and the major publishers over AI protections for performances is set to end, after both sides reached a tentative agreement this week. Details of the deal haven't yet been released, but the union says it includes 'necessary AI guardrails' as companies adopt tools to copy, replicate, and alter the work of actors. The 10 companies involved in the agreement are Activision Productions Inc., Blindlight LLC, Disney Character Voices Inc., Electronic Arts Productions Inc., Epic Games Inc., Formosa Interactive LLC, Insomniac Games Inc., Take 2 Productions Inc., and WB Games Inc. SAG-AFTRA says more about the deal will be shared after members vote to ratify it in the coming weeks. The two sides are still hashing out the terms of the strike suspension agreement, however, so actors will remain on strike for a little longer. 'Everyone at SAG-AFTRA is immensely grateful for the sacrifices made by video game performers and the dedication of the Interactive Media Agreement Negotiating Committee throughout these many months of the video game strike,' SAG-AFTRA chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said in a press release. 'Patience and persistence has resulted in a deal that puts in place the necessary A.I. guardrails that defend performers' livelihoods in the A.I. age, alongside other important gains.' The strike began last July, and while it involved demands for pay raises and better onsite working conditions, the biggest sticking point throughout negotiations was the role AI might play in voice recording and performance capture. While actors are currently paid on a session by session basis for specific performances, AI models would make it easy for companies to take that data and replicate an actor's voice or movements, either altering their creative output or replacing it altogether. Back in March, Ashly Burch who plays Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn shared her concerns about AI replacing actors after an internal tech demo at Sony showed an AI-controlled Aloy having a conversation with a player. SAG-AFTRA recently filed an unfair labor practice against Epic Games for using an AI-voiced Darth Vader in Fortnite while still in negotiations. Meanwhile, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has said he foresees a possible future in which all NPCs are AI-controlled. As the strike continued throughout last fall and into 2025, actors in some games saw themselves replaced by other artists in projects like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Zenless Zone Zero, as game companies sought to continue releasing updates. Games like Destiny 2, meanwhile, simply left some characters completely silent who would have otherwise voiced dialogue. Some SAG-AFTRA actors voiced their frustration with the duration of the strike in recent weeks. 'I hope SAG-AFTRA is aware that, either intentionally or through negligence, an environment has been created around IMA negotiations whereby it is impossible to express a good-faith disagreement without being dismissed as anti-union, a management shill, or both,' voice actor William Salyers, who voiced Otto Octavius in Spider-Man 2, wrote on Threads last week. 'The damage being done by this will persist long after the strike is settled.' Jennifer Hale, best known as Commander Shepard in Mass Effect, added, 'Vilifying those differences only divides the community.' . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
