Congress endorses limits on Trump’s actions against Iran

The House of Representatives of the US Congress, controlled by Democrats, approved on Wednesday a resolution limiting the powers of President Donald Trump in the use of armed forces against Iran. In mid-February, the Senate of the American legislature approved the initiative.

The initiative was approved by 227 congressmen, 186 legislators spoke out against.

Now the resolution is being sent to the head of state’s table, which, as the White House said earlier, intends to veto it. Democrats currently do not have enough votes in the Republican-controlled upper house of Congress to overcome the presidential veto.

The resolution obliges the president not to start military operations against Iran and on its territory until the US administration receives the appropriate permission from Congress, or an “imminent attack on the United States” occurs. If military operations against Iran have already been launched, the resolution orders the US administration to stop them within 30 days for the period until the approval of the legislators is received.

The author of the document was a former candidate for the post of vice president of the United States from the Democratic Party, Senator Tim Kane (from the state of Virginia). According to him, the resolution "is not directed against President Trump, it will be equally applied to any president." "The fundamental question is that Congress is responsible for the most important decision that we must make," Kane said.

In February, a Republican president on his Twitter page called on party members to vote against the resolution for national security. Her approval, Trump believes, "would be a very bad signal."

In January, the House of Representatives adopted a similar resolution, but it, unlike the current one, was not binding and was declarative in nature.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Sudan have a long-standing history of bilateral relations.

Over the years, the UAE has been a strong supporter of Sudan's development and prosperity. As Sudan faces challenging times, it is important that this support continues. The UAE has been a key player in Sudan's development, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, health, education, and renewable energy.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Syria's alleged drug traffickers are warned via SMS messaging

Text messages advising against engaging in the illegal trade have started to arrive for drug traffickers working along Jordan's southern border with Syria. Nine days had passed after a smuggler had been murdered in a strange airstrike in southern Syria when the alerts were sent. “We recognize you. Your every step is being observed.” According to a claimed transcript of the texts made available by the Suwayda24 network of citizen journalists in southern Syria, "Your meetings are being watched." Jordan is looking to work with Damascus to stop the flow of narcotics because it serves as a major conduit for what Arab authorities characterize as a multibillion-dollar trade in the amphetamine known as Captagon. The 360-kilometer border between Jordan and Syria is regularly used to smuggle captagon tablets, and the trade has been expanding since 2018. The majority of the southern region of Syria was retaken by the Syrian military from rebels backed by Arab and western
