Here's what Congress can do internationalpolicy.org/publications...

Members of Congress should
Oppose the Trump-Saudi nuclear deal, including by supporting a Joint Resolution of Disapproval against it.
Join Rep. Joaquin Castro’s letter calling for the State Department to answer questions about the Israeli nuclear arsenal and “hold Israel to the same standard of transparency that the United States expects from any other country that may be pursuing or retaining nuclear weapons capability.”
Promise to not abide by any corrupt Trump-Saudi nuclear deal once in control of government

Purchasing ships other-than-frigates allows New Zealand to better use its existing pool of sailors, with smaller crews across more vessels, responding to needs across the millions of square kilometers of sea New Zealand is committed to patrol, a coverage beyond what a two-frigate navy can reach.

$Solutions Distilled: A more practical and less expensive naval acquisition strategy rooted in Non-Offensive Defense would better allow New Zealand to secure its vast maritime domain while providing humanitarian and disaster relief at a fraction of the cost to taxpayers. 1. Move away from a prestige navy: Instead of replacing the ANZAC-class frigates, purchase several offshore patrol vessels (OPVs). They’re less crew-intensive, cheaper, and will allow the RNZN to cover more area in its constabulary duties. 2. Replace the HMNZS Canterbury with another ice-strengthened multi-role vessel. 3. Maintain a layered defense system: Instead of naval power projection, prioritize asymmetric capabilities more suited to the modern warfighting environment like unmanned systems in conjunction with multi-mission ships and aircraft.$

The UK announced new measures in response to Israeli settlements. "Banning the import of settlement goods and sanctioning those who facilitate settlement expansion are welcome, if long overdue, steps" says EVP @mattduss. The US should adopt similar measures, not resist them.

Allies’ Concrete Action on Settlements Welcome and Necessary

September 8, 2026 — Center for International Policy Executive Vice President Matt Duss issued the following statement in response to new measures announced by the United Kingdom and other US allies in response to Israeli settlement expansion:

“Banning the import of settlement goods and sanctioning those who facilitate settlement expansion are welcome, if long overdue, steps toward upholding international law, protecting Palestinian national rights, and advancing regional security. Several countries have announced that they will join the United Kingdom in adopting such measures, which we urge them to consistently enforce. We also applaud the UK’s recognition that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful.

“American lawmakers who seek to uphold the rule of law and pursue a non-violent resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should welcome these efforts by some of our closest allies. They should call on the US government to adopt these and similar measures, instead of resisting them.

“The decades-long approach of urging Israel to halt settlement expansion, while failing to impose any consequences for it, has been a catastrophic failure. By effectively granting Israel impunity from international consequences, the US has fueled an annexationist movement that openly terrorizes Palestinian communities, forcibly displaces them, and steals their land in full partnership with the Israeli government and armed forces. Make no mistake: Those trying to undermine or penalize the lawful steps rightly taken in response to the occupation are actively abetting this deadly, illegal conquest.”

Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network issued a final rule that permanently removes the requirement for U.S. companies & U.S. persons to report beneficial ownership information. This change "serves only one purpose: to make corruption easier to conceal" - @cjcmichel.bsky.social

TRUMP ENDS FEDERAL REGISTRY OF SHELL CORPORATIONS

“The creation of the US's beneficial ownership registry was an important step forward in the effort to combat corruption and strengthen democracy. The Trump administration's decision to shut down this registry is a disaster for those efforts. It serves only one purpose: to make corruption easier to conceal.

The only people celebrating the move are ultra-wealthy Americans and kleptocratic regimes around the world who use anonymous shell companies to squirrel away their money, hiding their ill-gotten gains from public accountability.

The move will only increase corruption in the US, and further transform US politics into a pay-to-play racket in which the wealthy few benefit at the expense of the rest of us."

By taking the war seriously, and conditioning arms sales, Congress can instead stop adding fuel to the fire. internationalpolicy.org/publications...

SOLUTIONS, DISTILLED:
CONGRESS CAN STILL ACT TO PREVENT ATROCITIES
IN SUDAN
• Condition the arms relationship with the UAE: Enact the Stand Up for Sudan Act, suspending designated U.S. defense sales until the President certifies Abu Dhabi has ended material support for the RSF.
• Reconcile the two bills toward the House text: Keep the stronger House provisions, which require sanctions and bar weapons sales to countries arming the war, rather than leaving it to the President to decide.
• Put the political endgame on the table: Any future negotiations must center the political future of Sudan and its transition to a civilian-led government alongside ceasefire terms

As Congress debates authorization of funds for the military, members should know the numbers they're being told don't reflect even the Pentagon's own public accounting, and should demand accurate estimates of costs and obligations. internationalpolicy.org/publications...

◦ The Pentagon should correct the errors that this report identifies in the Pentagon's congressionally mandated "Overseas Cost Summary" (OCS) so that the OCS accurately reflects the costs of maintaining U.S. bases and troops in South Korea and all other foreign countries.
◦ Congress should fulfill its oversight role by ensuring the Pentagon provides an accurate OCS annually.
◦ Until the Pentagon corrects the report's errors, members of Congress should request a Government Accountability Office report detailing the financial costs of maintaining bases and troops in other countries.
◦ Congress members, analysts, and the public should carefully consider the $100 billion in annual taxpayer spending required to maintain around 800 or more U.S. military bases abroad.
◦ The Congressional Research Service should conduct a study of alternatives to the overseas basing of the U.S. military, comparing current costs to other approaches focused on diplomacy and conflict resolution in places such as the Korean peninsula, where the Korean war is technically ongoing.

While it is increasingly unlikely that the Trump administration will take it, there exists (or existed) a path for Trump and Congress to honor their end of the MOU, and it meant broadly following existing appropriations law, rather than carving out exceptions

US should condition security assistance to Israel as obliged to do so under the existing law of the Foreign Assistance Act.
US security assistance should be additionally conditioned on Israel halting its operations in Lebanon as outlined in the MOU
Congressional provision of future aid should be conditioned on the acceptance and provision of humanitarian relief
Congress should prepare terms acceptable for a more durable end to the conflict, terms that decouple the United States and Israel military cooperation.

Congress can act to prevent this presidential overreach and expansion of violence, from hearings to conditioning funds to demanding oversight and accountability.

Hold public hearings requiring the Pentagon and White House to explain the legal, strategic, and humanitarian rationale for procuring cluster munitions and restarting domestic production.
Condition, limit, or prohibit funding for the procurement, production, transfer, or use of cluster munitions through the NDAA.
Require comprehensive reporting and consistent monitoring from the Pentagon on stockpile levels, dud rates, procurement plans, use, and compliance with international humanitarian law.
Demand that congressional oversight and policymaking reflect the documented long-term humanitarian consequences of these weapons.
Support civil society, experts, survivors, and communities affected by cluster munitions and ensure policy reflects lessons from past use and accounts for the enduring risk cluster munitions pose to civilians.

NEW STATEMENT 🚨 CIP Executive Vice President @mattduss.bsky.social issued the following response to reports that the United States and Iran have reached a ceasefire agreement to be signed by the end of the week: #Iran 🇮🇷 #UnitedStates 🇺🇸

“With news of a ceasefire agreement to end the disastrous and unnecessary US-Israeli war on Iran, the tragic failure of Donald Trump’s Iran policy has now played out exactly as antiwar critics warned it would.

“Trump said that his war on Iran would be quick, decisive and force the regime to totally capitulate or collapse. We warned it would become a quagmire that would fail to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program, ignite a regional conflict that could threaten the global economy, further strengthen the Iranian regime’s hold on power and cost thousands of lives–including American servicemembers. We were right.

“This diplomatic agreement is critically needed to bring the disaster to an end, and must be fully and swiftly implemented. Nonetheless, the United States will be left in a weakened strategic position – not because of the contents of this agreement, but because of the utter failure of the reckless approach taken by Trump at the urging of pro-war groups in Washington, and a racist, corrupt Israeli Prime Minister.

“US lawmakers from both parties should support the agreement to end this historic and completely avoidable foreign policy disaster. Just as importantly, both Congress and the White House must end the definitively failed approach of ever-increasing sanctions and belligerence toward Iran, and seek to build on this new opening for diplomacy to address the full range of issues–as well as potential opportunities–in the US-Iran relationship.”

• FIFA should condition hosting agreements on binding human-rights and mobility guarantees, including independent monitoring of border and enforcement practices during the tournament.
• Host cities and states should adopt clear protocols limiting the role of immigration enforcement agencies in and around sporting venues to prevent intimidation and arbitrary detention.
• The European Union and partner governments should articulate minimum democratic standards for mega-event hosting, using Milano-Cortina 2026 as a benchmark for rights-based governance.

The scale and shape of these arms sales are likely to endure, even if the US is led by a Congress or president that wants to scale back such militarized spending. Which means the form of the weapons sold now and in the future will shape future policy. Some suggestions:

1. Prioritize Restraint-Oriented Systems Over Offensive Platform Sales to encourage information-sharing, escalation management, and responsible military modernization.
2. Link Arms Transfers to Crisis Management Mechanisms to shape how that capability is used under stress—particularly in a nuclearized environment.
3. Re-engage Pakistan at a Functional Level to preserve limited channels of influence and reduce the risk of strategic miscalculation.
4. Integrate Arms Transfers into a Broader Regional Strategy that includes crisis diplomacy, economic ties, and multilateral coordination.

Both the pain of the war and geopolitical benefits have accrued asymmetrically. Iran has suffered but its hold on the Strait, and hardliners hold on the state, has only magnified.

Operationally, the Trump administration expected its shock and awe assassinations of key Iranian figures on the first day of the war to wrap things up quickly. Instead, the killing of the 100 children in the schoolyard in Minab grabbed the headlines.
Tactically the Iranians deployed a decentralized security system yielding better resilience, despite the 30,000 missiles and bombs that the Us and Israel dropped on the country in the first 25 days. The Iranian regime also revealed a sophisticated array of missiles with accurate targeting capacity. It is texibook asymmetrical warfare.

Strategically, the Iranian regime gained the upper hand at least for now.
Knowing it could not dominate the nuclear-armed US and Israel militarily, Iran opted to target the US's weakest spot - the global economy - and trust in the status quo of a world dominated by the US. By controlling the Straits of Hormuz, Iran pinched the world, and the world cried out in economic pain.
