\"US-Iran<\/picture>US-Iran war LIVE: Qatar believes a direct channel of communication needs to be established between the US and Iran to stop any disruption to reopening of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

US-Iran war LIVE: <\/strong>International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Mariano Grossi said on Wednesday that inspectors would soon be allowed to visit Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities, a crucial part of the interim agreement between Washington and Tehran aimed at ending the conflict. Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said a direct hotline between the United States and Iran is crucial to prevent rogue actors from disrupting the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.<\/span>

In an interview with the Financial Times, he said the communication channel agreed during talks in Switzerland would help counter \u201cdisinformation\u201d and ensure coordination as mines are cleared from the strategic waterway. Al Thani also expressed confidence that Qatar would return to normal liquefied natural gas production within a few weeks. <\/p>\n

US Senate votes to halt Iran war escalation, Trump unhappy<\/strong> <\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump said a Senate vote on the War Powers Act had complicated his administration\u2019s efforts to pressure Iran, claiming Tehran was on the verge of making significant concessions. Trump accused four Republican senators of siding with Democrats and sending a confusing signal to Iran at a critical moment. He argued the vote undermined US leverage in negotiations but insisted he would continue pursuing his objectives despite the setback. <\/p>\n

the Republican-led Senate voted 50-48 to end US military hostilities with Iran, marking its first effort to halt the conflict. The move comes despite Trump having already reached an interim peace agreement with Tehran. <\/p>\n

The practical effect of the vote remains uncertain because the resolution relies on the 1973 War Powers Act, a law whose application has long been disputed, reported Bloomberg. The measure requires the US to cease hostilities against Iran unless Congress explicitly authorises further military action. <\/p>\n

Four Republican senators, Lisa Murkowski, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins and Rand Paul, joined Democrats in backing the resolution. Democratic Senator John Fetterman voted against it. Republican Senators Mitch McConnell and David McCormick, both of whom had previously supported military action against Iran, did not participate in the vote. <\/p>\n

The resolution had already cleared the House and, under the War Powers Act, cannot be vetoed by the president. <\/p>\n

Travel in US eases for Iran’s football team<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the US has granted Iran\u2019s national football team an extra day to prepare for its upcoming World Cup match in Seattle, allowing the squad to arrive two days before Friday\u2019s game, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said, according to Bloomberg. <\/p>\n

Trump puts a condition on release of Iran funds<\/strong> <\/p>\n

President Donald Trump said Iran <\/a>will only be able to use any funds released from frozen accounts to buy food and medical supplies from the United States, addressing a key sticking point in peace negotiations that both sides say are progressing. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe money and\/or sanctions that the US Treasury is releasing goes into escrow, controlled by the USA, and will be used for the purchase of food and medical supplies, exclusively from the United States,\u201d Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

However, Iran rejected that characterization. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the funds would be available for Tehran to use \u201cfreely, in whatever manner it deems appropriate,\u201d rather than being restricted to purchases from the US, according to Bloomberg. <\/p>\n

Oil declines<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, oil prices extended their decline as more tankers resumed openly transiting the Strait of Hormuz, signalling growing confidence that disruptions to global energy supplies may ease. <\/p>\n

Brent crude slipped below $77 a barrel after falling 1.1% in the previous session, while West Texas Intermediate traded near $73, according to Bloomberg. <\/p>\n
