The House approved a measure requiring President Donald Trump to end his war with Iran. The vote delivered a potent political rebuke of the administration’s handling of the conflict just weeks before the midterm elections.
Drone experts warn that Iran is deliberately targeting U.S. naval drones in the Strait of Hormuz to study American surveillance capabilities and learn how to evade U.S. defenses. The warning followed an attempted IRGC seizure of a U.S. unmanned surface vessel, after which the U.S. military destroyed two Iranian small boats. Experts say even brief access to captured hardware could reveal sensors, tactics and battlefield vulnerabilities.
A Congressional Budget Office report says the six-month US war on Iran has cost $38bn and could add $3bn monthly. It projects a 0.5-percentage-point inflation increase in early 2027 and says replenishing depleted US munitions stockpiles could take up to five years.
The Congressional Budget Office says the Iran war has cost the US at least $38bn and heavily depleted its Patriot, Thaad and Navy interceptor stockpiles, which could take at least five years to rebuild. The report estimates costs would rise by $3bn each additional month and inflation would remain higher.
US Vice President J.D. Vance said the conflict with Iran would enter a completely different phase within two months. He said Washington had completed the first stage, which he described as destroying Iran’s nuclear program and conventional military. Donald Trump has said the conflict could end after the November midterms, while allowing for an earlier settlement.
The Congressional Budget Office says the conflict with Iran has already cost US citizens $38 billion in its first five months, with monthly costs of $2-3 billion. It also confirmed that the war has depleted US weapons stocks, including critical interceptors used by air-defense systems.
A nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office assessment says the US war with Iran had cost at least $38 billion by the end of July and is expected to drive inflation higher still.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the war with Iran has caused more than one-third of this year’s increase in inflation and will push prices higher again in the first quarter of next year, according to a report released Tuesday.
The Congressional Budget Office says the war in Iran has cost the Pentagon $38 billion and depleted its missile stockpiles.
The six-month U.S. war against Iran has cost $38 billion so far, with spending projected to increase by $3 billion each month, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The Trump administration is seeking to end the conflict and reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz.

The remaining opening acts on Ed Sheeran’s tour have withdrawn in solidarity with Macklemore after he was dropped over comments about Palestine.

Several major artists touring with Ed Sheeran have withdrawn after rapper Macklemore was forced out over his support for Palestinians.
Supporting performers including Finneas, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe and Beoga are leaving Ed Sheeran’s tour after Macklemore was removed over his pro-Palestinian stance amid accusations of antisemitism. Sheeran said promoters, not he, made the decision, while the departing artists voiced support for Palestine.
Ed Sheeran’s international tour has been thrown into crisis after rapper Macklemore was removed from the US dates for supporting Palestine onstage. All of Sheeran’s other opening acts then quit in protest of the decision.
Ed Sheeran says the promoter, rather than he, decided to remove Macklemore from their US tour after venues threatened to withdraw future shows over the rapper’s pro-Palestine remarks. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft acknowledged pressuring Sheeran, while Sheeran said he was appalled by the Israel-Palestine conflict and prefers not to use his professional platform for politics.
Pop star Ed Sheeran said Tuesday that removing American rapper Macklemore from his U.S. tour was decided by the tour’s promoter, not by Sheeran. He also said his political approach differs from Macklemore’s.
Finneas and Aaron Rowe pulled out of their opening-act slots on Ed Sheeran’s tour Tuesday, protesting Macklemore’s removal from the lineup. The rapper has said New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft organized a boycott against him.
Ed Sheeran has responded to heavy criticism after Macklemore was removed as an opening act on his tour over pro-Palestinian comments made during performances. Sheeran said the decision was not his and defended his choice to avoid taking political positions.
Three supporting acts have withdrawn from Ed Sheeran’s tour after Macklemore was removed following pro-Palestinian comments he made onstage.
American rapper Macklemore has been dropped as the opening act for British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran’s US tour after making pro-Palestinian statements on stage. He has publicly advocated the position for years and released “Hind’s Hall” in solidarity with Palestinians, honouring five-year-old Hind Rajab, who was killed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza in January 2024.
Ed Sheeran says tour promoters, not he, decided to remove Macklemore from his US tour after the rapper made pro-Palestinian statements at two New Jersey shows. Sheeran says he has personal views on the conflict but avoids using his professional platform for politics, preferring to keep dialogue open and promote peace.
Ed Sheeran has spoken out after Macklemore was dropped from his tour.
American billionaire Robert Kraft confirmed he pressured Ed Sheeran to remove Macklemore from his US tour, saying the rapper’s recent performances crossed a line because they included a broader history of “antisemitic rhetoric and imagery”. Macklemore claims Kraft also rallied other venue owners against his participation.
Macklemore is receiving broad public backing from celebrities and politicians after New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft insisted that he be dropped as a performer over his pro-Palestine remarks. Macklemore may also no longer be touring with Ed Sheeran.
Questions concern Kraft’s identity as an NFL billionaire, his Epstein link and the part he played in removing Macklemore from Ed Sheeran’s tour.
Grammy-winning musician Macklemore said on Instagram that he was forced off Ed Sheeran’s “Loop Tour” after Patriots owner Robert Kraft organized a boycott by stadium owners over Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian remarks onstage. Kraft said his demand was partly based on Macklemore’s recent actions and a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric.
