Trump declares Iran conflict terminated as Congress deadline arrives
TL;DR
President Trump says hostilities with Iran have terminated in a letter to Congress, claiming the 60-day War Powers deadline has lapsed without authorization for further force. The U.S. maintains a naval blockade and has not ruled out additional strikes, while Democrats warn troops remain at risk and push Congress to act on authorization; Republicans emphasize congressional war powers. The move highlights the ongoing debate over who controls military action against Iran.
