US deadline to secure Congressional approval on Iran war passes

Expires today 8:00am

The deadline for President Donald Trump to secure authorization from Congress to continue the war against Iran has just passed. Defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth argued the 60-day clock was paused under the ceasefire. This comes as military plans for a 'lightning' strike were apparently presented to the president. We speak to a former NATO commander. One of the world's biggest producers of fertiliser has said that the interruption to supply and production caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran is jeopardising global food production. And the jihadist group that led large-scale attacks around Mali earlier this week has called for the country to unite to overthrow the military government.
