Iran says it's up to U.S. to end war as China presses for de-escalation
The remarks came as the Houthis launched a new wave of missile and drone attacks at Saudi targets Friday morning.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as Senate resistance to Trump’s war powers, with NBC News, CBS News, the Washington Post, The Independent, NPR, CNBC and the New York Times all emphasizing failed efforts to curb or end the Iran war and the growing Republican split. Fox News and CNN foreground GOP defiance and electoral worries, while Politico and the Los Angeles Times are more explicit about high prices and Trump’s own rhetoric. Only the New York Times extract mentions a seven-day Iranian plan to end the war, and France 24 and Al Jazeera instead shift to live regional-security developments that are not central elsewhere.
