The House of Representatives ordered the withdrawal of the US military in the war against Iran. Now let go by Congress, Donald Trump appears weakened in the face of Iran which sees “no tangible progress” in negotiations with the United States.
The essentials
- ​​The war in Iran lives its 96th day this Thursday, June 4, 2026 with a real blow for Donald Trump:he American House of Representatives adopted a text on Wednesday ordering the withdrawal of American troops in the war against Iran, a snub for Donald Trump who engaged the United States in this conflict last February. Be careful, this resolutionhas a primarily symbolic significance, due to the American president’s right of veto.“It is time to end this illegal and deeply unpopular war,” the text reads.
- The war between Israel and Lebanoncould end. In a joint statement overnight, Israel and Lebanon agreed to “the implementation of a ceasefire” at the end of two days of talks in Washington. This ceasefire is conditional on the cessation of fire from Hezbollah, which rejects these discussions, and the “evacuation” of all its members from the sector located south of the Litani River. The two parties also agreed to participate in a new session of talks the week of June 22 with a view to a “comprehensive agreement”. This Thursday, Naïm Qassem, the leader of Hezbollah, castigated the Washington agreement between Lebanon and Israel as being “a capitulation and a defeat”. He demands a “global ceasefire” and an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. The ceasefire agreement, however, did not prevent Israel from striking the south and east of Lebanon, killing at least eight people. An Israeli soldier also lost his life this Thursday in Lebanon.
- Negotiations to end the war in Iran continue but slip. On Wednesday evening, Tehran affirmed, however, that there was “no tangible progress” in negotiations with the United States while Donald Trump declared for his part that discussions with Iran could be concluded “this weekend.” The head of American diplomacy, Marco Rubio, assured him that the question enriched uranium was “clearly discussed” with Iran, conceding however that Tehran had not given its approval.
- The Strait of Hormuz is still blocked by Iran. The Iranian regime, however, claims to authorize the transit of certain ships on which it imposes fees for “navigation services” and has denied wanting to introduce a toll. It ensures “control of traffic and navigation” thanks to a system coordinated with Oman.

“Yesterday, in an inconsequential vote, the House of Representatives voted, with four defective Republicans and all Democrats, to limit my war powers, even as I conducted final negotiations to end the war with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Who would do one thing so unpatriotic?”, castigated American President Donald Trump on his Truth Social network. “The ‘Dumocrats’ (contraction for idiots and democrats, editor’s note) are driven by the anti-Trump derangement syndrome.

The start of the war in Iran, launched by the United States and Israel
On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched a joint military strike operation on Iran. On the Israeli side, the operation is called “Roaring Lion”, on the American side “Epic Fury”. The objectives range from the overthrow of the regime to the weakening of the Iranian nuclear program, including the destruction of the military capabilities of the Islamic Republic, judged as a threat, in particular by Israel.
In addition to targeting the Iranian arsenal, the Israeli-American coalition will lead a campaign to eliminate Iranian leaders. A significant number of political figures from the regime were killed in the first hours of the conflict, including the supreme guide Ali Khamenei. His son Mojtaba Khamenei, who took over on March 8, 2026, was also targeted and his state of health will quickly become the subject of speculation.
Iran’s response and the contagion in Lebanon and the Middle East
From February 28, 2026, Iran responded to strikes by the United States and Israel, by launching hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel and towards American military bases in the Gulf, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
On the night of March 1 to 2, in response to the death of Ali Khamenei, Hezbollah, Iran’s ally, launched salvos of rockets and drones from Lebanon towards northern Israel. The Israeli army called this offensive an “official declaration of war” and launched a vast bombing campaign in Lebanon.
On March 2, 2026, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, instantly blocking numerous cargo and oil ships, and suspending a significant portion of global oil traffic. The International Energy Agency called the shutdown “the largest supply disruption in history.”
