Recently, the U.S. and Iran moved toward a peace understanding through a Memorandum of Understanding, or MoU. This has raised one big question: Can this agreement solve the Strait of Hormuz problem?

On Tuesday, the US Senate voted 50–48 to pass a war powers resolution aimed at halting unauthorized military operations against Iran. The vote marks a massive turnaround after nine previous attempts failed in the Senate. It signals a major shift in how Washington is handling the highly unpopular conflict.
