House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries declined to commit to blocking additional Pentagon funding as tensions grow over U.S. military operations tied to the conflict with Iran. When asked whether Democrats would oppose new defense spending requests, Jeffries said, “we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,” signaling uncertainty about how the party might respond if the administration formally seeks more funds. He criticized the administration for failing to clearly justify the war, arguing the American public has not been given a compelling explanation for the conflict or its long-term objectives. Jeffries also warned that the president will face difficulty convincing Congress to approve additional military spending without a stronger case for the strategy and costs involved. The debate highlights growing divisions in Washington over war powers, military spending, and whether Congress should approve further Pentagon funding tied to the escalating conflict.
Meanwhile, Iran’s clerical Assembly of Experts has named Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as Iran’s new supreme leader amid the escalating U.S.–Israel conflict with Tehran. The leadership transition comes after Ali Khamenei was killed during the opening phase of the war, prompting Iran’s ruling establishment and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to rally behind the younger Khamenei. As the conflict intensifies across the Middle East, global energy markets have reacted sharply, with oil prices surging past $100 per barrel due to fears of supply disruptions and attacks on key energy infrastructure. Analysts warn that threats to shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz could further tighten global oil supplies and fuel inflation worldwide. The appointment signals that Iran’s hardline leadership remains firmly in control during wartime, raising concerns about continued military escalation in the region. President Donald Trump has criticized the selection while warning that the broader conflict could continue impacting global energy markets and geopolitical stability.
