Democratic members of Congress have filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing alleged criminal lawlessness, usurpation of congressional war power, and unlawful militarization of law enforcement. Representative John Larson specifically accused the President of “serial usurpation of the congressional war power” and the “commission of murder, war crimes and piracy” in his actions regarding Iran. These impeachment efforts come amid President Trump’s escalating threats towards Iran and a broader call from nearly 100 congressional Democrats for his removal from office.

Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has accused the U.S. of violating a two-week ceasefire agreement, citing Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon, a drone intrusion into Iranian airspace, and the denial of uranium enrichment rights. Ghalibaf stated that these alleged violations render bilateral ceasefire or negotiations unreasonable, contrasting with President Trump’s view that Iran’s proposal was a basis for talks. The differing interpretations of the ceasefire, particularly regarding passage through the Strait of Hormuz, have created a significant rift, with Iran reportedly planning to impose tolls while the U.S. insists on unrestricted access. Consequently, U.S. oil prices have fallen significantly amid concerns about the unraveling of the fragile agreement.
