US Senate blocks efforts to force Trump to end Iran's strikes without Congress approval; final vote count at 53-47.

The US Senate's decision to block efforts that would restrict President Trump from ending military strikes against Iran without Congress approval suggests a continuation of the current administration's approach to foreign policy in the region. This could heighten tensions in the Middle East, influencing energy prices and risk sentiment in global markets, especially in commodities like WTI oil. Traders should watch for potential shifts in USD dynamics against major currencies like EUR and JPY in response to ongoing geopolitical developments.
