Opinion | Who decides when we go to war? Here’s what the framers said.
At the Constitutional Convention, the framers changed the language of Congress’s war powers in Article I from “make war” to “declare war” to protect presidential prerogative in military affairs. As commander in chief, the president runs the military that Congress regulates and funds. The change to “declare war” permits the president to act unilaterally in defense of the country. However, if the Constitution is being followed, the president cannot start a war by himself. In addition to going toe-to-toe with the Nixon administration over the Vietnam War, Congress blocked funding to the Contras, forced a timetable for the U.S. to leave Lebanon after the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings and required U.S. withdrawal from Somalia.

Live updates: Iran’s new supreme leader says Strait of Hormuz will remain closed in first purported message to public
Farmers across the United States are facing surging costs of crucial supplies amid the ongoing Middle East conflict and effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, according to the CEO of a sustainable agriculture company. He emphasized that at the beginning of the conflict many American farmers had not yet received their essential supplies as they were still weeks away from planting season. “The US, heading into this conflict, had only bought about half of its fertilizer,” he said. But now planting season is approaching, agriculturalists across the country are scrambling to obtain materials, which Abbott said have seen prices spike since the conflict began on February 28. “We’ve seen that urea prices are up 50%,” he clarified, adding, “In the northern parts of the country, it’s up almost 100%.”For context: In his first address as supreme leader a short while ago, Mojtaba Khamenei confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed.

The World’s Richest Woman
Jim Walton still chairs the family’s Arvest Bank Group after being replaced as a director of Walmart by his son Steuart Walton in 2016. Alice, meanwhile, is best known for founding the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in the Waltons’ hometown of Bentonville, Arkansas. She chaired the museum for a decade before tapping Jim’s daughter-in-law Olivia Walton as her successor in 2021. That includes more than $550 million that her Art Bridges Foundation has spent acquiring and loaning out works of American art to more than 300 museums across the country since its founding in 2016. It also includes an estimated $400 million gifted through the Walton Family Foundation to organizations focused on education reform, the environment and the region surrounding Bentonville.

Oil Tankers Burn Near Iraq As Iranian Strikes Defy Trump's Claim To Have 'Won' The War
Unleashed with joint U.S. and Israeli air strikes on Iran almost two weeks ago, the war has so far killed around 2,000 people and thrown global energy markets and transport into chaos. The conflict has spread across the Middle East and prompted plans for a record release of strategic oil reserves to dampen one of the worst fuel shocks since the 1970s.

In a brief call with Barak Ravid of Axios today, President Donald J. Trump said “The war is going great. Threats from Iran have bottled up oil in the Persian Gulf, and suppliers are shutting down operations because their storage facilities are full. The average price of gasoline in the U.S. has jumped nearly 60 cents a gallon since Trump launched attacks against Iran. The school building had been part of an adjacent Iranian military base years ago, and it appears the U.S. used outdated information in their targeting of the building. —Notes:https://www.axios.com/2026/03/11/trump-iran-war-end-withdrawalhttps://www.axios.com/2026/03/10/hormuz-strait-mines-war-trumphttps://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/11/us-iran-strait-of-hormuz-mine-boat-attacksMorgan Phillips, “US destroys 16 Iranian mine boats as Strait of Hormuz oil showdown escalates,” Fox News, March 11, 2026.https://www.newsweek.com/strait-of-hormuz-opening-donald-trump-iran-mines-11661502https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-israel-war-attrition-analysis-5d7e50c3a6da57414bbf4a5e255e4a7ehttps://www.wsj.com/politics/casualties-and-the-cost-of-war-c221c633https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/03/10/us-troops-wounded-iran-war/https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-gasoline-prices-surpass-350-gallon-pumps-iran-war-rages-2026-03-11/https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/11/business/price-oil-trump-gas-warhttps://apnews.com/article/iran-us-israel-war-attrition-analysis-5d7e50c3a6da57414bbf4a5e255e4a7ehttps://www.wired.com/story/how-the-iran-war-could-jack-up-prices-on-store-shelves/https://www.cfr.org/articles/guide-trumps-second-term-military-strikes-and-actionshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/03/09/iran-war-cost/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/world/middleeast/iran-war-costs-pentagon.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/03/11/world/middleeast/iran-us-military-bases-strikes-map.htmlhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/strike-in-kuwait-that-killed-6-us-service-member-more-severe/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/10/iranian-regime-is-not-weakening-in-face-of-us-israel-onslaught-but-becoming-more-defianthttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/us/politics/iran-school-missile-strike.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/mar/11/iran-war-live-updates-trump-oil-hormuz-protestors-us-israel-beirut-middle-east-latest-newshttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/03/12/iran-war-latest-news-strait-of-hormuz-iraqi-oil-tankers-hit/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/world/middleeast/beirut-lebanon-israel-strikes.htmlhttps://www.seatrade-maritime.com/tankers/two-tankers-struck-off-iraq-fire-reportedhttps://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/oil-storage-facilities-hit-omans-salalah-port-ambrey-state-tv-say-2026-03-11/X:phildstewart/status/2031429959030280658jongambrellAP/status/2031936024100880864Bluesky:markjacob.bsky.social/post/3mgsnrnz3vs2lacyn.bsky.social/post/3mgix5syjz52cacyn.bsky.social/post/3mgnwc2vex32dacyn.bsky.social/post/3mgq2aqiscn2iacyn.bsky.social/post/3mgsdqkskkv2creichlinmelnick.bsky.social/post/3mgtc4ytsfs2sShare

Oil soars above $100 despite historic release of reserves as supply fears persist
- Mohammed Aty/ReutersBrent crude oil surged past $100 a barrel Thursday before dipping below that landmark threshold, though oil prices were still up on the day as further attacks on ships in the Gulf spooked energy traders. “The war in the Middle East is creating the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market,” the IEA said in its monthly oil market report. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, was up 5% to trade at around $96 a barrel. Prices have stayed high despite 32 of the world’s biggest economies, including the United States, agreeing Wednesday to add 400 million barrels of oil to the global market, the biggest-ever release of emergency oil stocks. Attacks on ships, oil output cutsIran has ramped up attacks on oil tankers, striking two foreign oil tankers in Iraqi waters Thursday.
