Trump declares Iran war terminated as 60-day deadline hits
TL;DR
President Trump told lawmakers that the Iran war has terminated as the 60-day clock under the War Powers Resolution reached its deadline, arguing a ceasefire pauses the timeline and that congressional authorization isn’t needed; the move aims to blunt GOP opposition while Democrats warn the campaign should wind down, as talks stall and U.S. forces remain deployed in the Middle East.
