Trump Signals Renewed Iran Conflict, Triggers 60-Day War Clock

President Trump formally notified Congress that the United States is again at war with Iran, starting another 60-day window for military action without additional authorization. The move heightens pressure over Tehran and the Strait of Hormuz, with U.S. forces striking Iranian targets and a renewed blockade threat. Congressional votes to curb the hostilities were largely symbolic and legally limited, while the White House maintains the war powers clock rests with the administration, complicating efforts on Capitol Hill to constrain U.S. military actions.
