TEHRAN(Basirat): The Republican-controlled US Senate is defying President Donald Trump’s pro-Saudi policies by advancing a bipartisan bid to end the country’s support for the war on Yemen amid tensions over Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

TEHRAN (Basirat): After closing an arms deal with Saudi Arabia worth $110 billion, it makes sense for US President Donald Trump to refuse to say whether slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi deserves justice - just as he won’t say Yemen and Syria are entitled to peace or ending the twin wars is the best way to ensure their people have the security they need.
