More than three dozen Democrats supported a resolution introduced in the US Senate by Bernie Sanders To ban arms sales to Israel.The move signals growing unease within the party over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid the ongoing war with Iran. The Senate voted on two separate resolutions seeking to stop the sale of bulldozers and bombs to Israel.The Associated Press reported that both measures were opposed by all Republicans and ultimately rejected with votes of 40–59 and 36–63. Sanders, an independent candidate who allies with the Democrats, has repeatedly pressed lawmakers in both parties to vote on the issue.After the vote, he said, “It’s clear that Democrats are beginning to listen to the average American who is sick and tired of spending billions of dollars to support Netanyahu’s terrible wars when people in this country can’t afford housing or health care.”Among those supporting the proposals was Mark Kelly, who had previously opposed some of Sanders’ previous efforts.Explaining his decision, Kelly said that “reckless decisions” by Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump influenced his vote. He cited the expansion of the conflict in Lebanon and continued violence against Palestinians as factors that have “undermined the path forward for peace.”“Under Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government, we have seen an extended war in Lebanon that is endangering innocent Lebanese civilians, and continued violence against Palestinians and the demolition of their homes in the West Bank. All of this undermines the path forward for peace,” Kelly said. However, several prominent Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, voted against the proposals. The same day, Democrats also supported a separate resolution to prevent US involvement in the Iran conflict, although that measure was rejected by a margin of 47–52. Senator Chris Coons, who voted against Sanders’ Israel proposals but supports ending the Iran war, said his decisions should not be seen as endorsing Netanyahu’s actions or abandoning Israel.Republicans strongly opposed the measures, warning of broader geopolitical consequences. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch argued that blocking arms sales could embolden Iran and indicated that the United States was prepared to leave Israel vulnerable. “They will not help the United States,” Risch said before the vote.

New Delhi: CJI Surya Kant on Wednesday said, “The most difficult part for the constitutional court is to decide whether the age-old faith of millions of devotees is right or wrong.” Dhananjay Mohapatra’s report.Justice MM Sundaresh sympathized with the CJI’s reasoning: “That too without listening to the views of those lakhs of devotees and based solely on the pleadings of the PIL petitioners, the State and religious organizations.”The comments come as the temple administration wing of the CPM-controlled Kerala government’s Travancore Devaswom Board on Wednesday said the Supreme Court could not strike down the age-old practice barring entry of women of menstrual age group into the Sabarimala Ayyappa temple as it was integral to the character of the deity as a brahmachari (atheistic celibate).Senior advocate AM Singhvi, appearing for TDB, told a nine-judge bench that while there are over 1,000 temples in India where women of all ages can enter and worship Lord Ayyappa, the deity at the Sabarimala temple has unique features and expressions.The TDB suggested that the Supreme Court should be extremely cautious while considering PILs of certain persons inviting judicial interference in matters of faith, belief and religion.Referring to the Supreme Court verdict in 2018 on the Sabarimala temple entry issue, Singhvi said, “Lord Ayyappa in Sabarimala is the only form of Ayyappa in the form of eternal celibacy, i.e. ‘Naishtika Brahmachari’.”Pointing out that the entry of fertile women in the age group of 10-50 years is prohibited in the temple, he said, “The foundation of his power and fame is his capacity as an eternal celibate. Therefore all forms of female reproduction and all practices of ‘grihasthashram’ should be sincerely kept away from the inner nature and identity of the deity.”Singhvi’s argument summed up the CPM’s political dilemma, where it had gone from enthusiastically supporting the Supreme Court’s decision in the Sabarimala case to opposing it with equal enthusiasm. This reversal led to a backlash, resulting in the CPM’s defeat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.Terming the 2018 Supreme Court judgment as wrong, Singhvi said, “This distancing and exclusion of fertile women with child-bearing potential has a direct bearing on the faith, belief and purpose for which the worshipers approach the deity and cannot be construed as exclusion for remotely extraneous and irrelevant reasons.”The TDB said it is not gender-exclusion as women below 10 years of age and above 50 years of age are allowed to enter the Sabarimala temple. According to age-old religious belief, “Maintaining the sanctity of the idol/deity in the form of secular celibacy is also a paramount object to be tried to achieve”.Singhvi told the bench that PILs should be discouraged in matters related to religious rights, which have innate rights.

Treasury Secretary Scott Besant signaled the approach of tougher sanctions on Wednesday, saying the United States would not extend a temporary waiver that already allows the sale of Russian oil and Iranian oil at sea.“We will not renew the general license on Russian oil,” Besant said at a press conference. Clarifying the scope of the earlier relief, he said: “That was oil that was on the water before March 11, so that’s all been used.”The decision comes a day after the Treasury Department indicated it would not renew similar waivers on Iranian oil, reinforcing Washington’s “maximum pressure” approach amid the ongoing US-Iran conflict. The earlier waivers were offered to ease global supply disruptions caused by the war and Iran’s move to effectively close the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy shipments.The waiver had allowed India to continue purchasing Russian oil, especially as disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz left many ships stuck at sea.Oil prices have soared since the conflict escalated, causing fuel prices to rise around the world, including in the United States. The temporary waivers were designed as short-term stabilization measures, allowing limited transactions involving oil already loaded on ships before a specified deadline.In March, the US issued a 30-day license to allow the delivery and sale of Russian crude oil loaded before March 12, with the exemption expiring on April 11. A similar waiver for Iranian oil, covering shipments loaded before March 20, is set to expire on April 19 and will also not be extended.Explaining the rationale behind the move, Besant had earlier said: “To continue the flow of oil into the global market, the Treasury Department is issuing a temporary waiver of 30 days to allow Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil. This deliberately short-term measure will not yield significant financial benefits to the Russian government as it only authorizes transactions involving oil already stranded at sea.“The waivers had allowed countries like India to secure additional supplies, with reports suggesting that Indian refiners had ordered about 30 million barrels of Russian oil during the period. Major refiners had earlier reduced purchases from Russian companies such as Rosneft and Lukoil following the sanctions.Despite its stated purpose, the waiver was sharply criticized by opposition Democrats in the US. Senator Richard Blumenthal said: “There is no way Russia sanctions relief should be extended. Trump’s waivers have given Russia an additional $150 billion per day to fuel its murderous war machine of murder and kidnapping of Ukrainian children – while it assists Iran with intelligence to target our troops.”Other Democratic leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, also opposed the policy, calling it “dangerous” and urging the administration to reverse course.“In addition to violating notification requirements to Congress under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act before relaxing sanctions on the Kremlin, Secretary Besant described the license as a temporary and ‘short-term’ measure that will not provide significant financial benefits to the Russian government,” the senators said in a joint statement.“But Russia’s decision to cancel its planned budget cuts shows that, as we warned, Russia is directly benefiting from the administration’s sanctions relief. It is up to the Trump administration to reverse this dangerous policy, ensure Russia receives no additional benefits, and prevent the United States from further fueling Putin’s war machine,” he said.

US-Iran-Israel War News Live Updates: Pakistan has stepped up diplomatic efforts to revive stalled US-Iran talks, with its army chief arriving in Tehran for high-level discussions aimed at securing a second round of talks after nearly seven weeks of conflict. Islamabad, which hosted rare direct talks between the two sides, is emerging as a key mediator, with any new round likely to be held again in the Pakistani capital.

White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt on Wednesday said the next round of peace talks between the United States and Iran are likely to take place in Pakistan.

Responding to a question on the location of the upcoming talks, White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt said the discussions would “very likely” take place at the same location as the previous round.

“They’re very likely to be in the same place they were last time,” Leavitt said during a press conference.

Emphasizing Islamabad’s role, he said, “They (Pakistan) are the only mediator in this dialogue, whereas there are many countries around the world who want to offer their help.”

Even as backchannel diplomacy continues, tensions remain high. The United States has maintained a naval blockade of Iranian ports for the third consecutive day, increasing economic pressure on Tehran. Officials in Washington have warned of further sanctions on countries and entities doing business with Iran, in what one senior official described as the “financial equivalent” of the bombing campaign.

The US has deployed naval assets to monitor and control access to Iranian ports, with the aim of restricting Tehran’s oil exports, Tehran’s major source of revenue. While Washington says non-Iran-linked shipping can still pass through the Strait of Hormuz, military activity in the area has intensified.

President Donald Trump reinforced the hardline stance by announcing a sweeping blockade. “Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the finest in the world, will begin the process of blockading any and all ships attempting to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz,” he said, warning that “any Iranian who fires at us or peaceful ships will be blown up!”

Iran responded with stern warnings of its own, with the Revolutionary Guards warning that any misstep would trap opponents in a “fatal” situation in the strategic waterway, which Tehran says it completely controls.

The markets have reacted with panic. Oil prices have again risen above $100 a barrel, while global equities fell amid fears of prolonged disruption to energy supplies. Analysts have warned that the blockade is being seen as a continuation of hostilities, raising the possibility of further escalation, including attacks on critical energy infrastructure.
