Iran War 'Terminated'? LIVE: Trump Faces Congress Deadline | Ceasefire Twist

A major political and legal twist is unfolding in the US-Iran conflict. The Trump administration has argued that the ongoing ceasefire effectively means the war with Iran has been “terminated” for the purposes of the War Powers Resolution, potentially allowing the White House to bypass a key congressional deadline.

A senior official stated that hostilities—defined as active exchanges of fire—ended after the ceasefire began in early April, with no direct military engagement since. This interpretation comes as Donald Trump faced a deadline to either seek Congressional approval for continued military action or halt operations.

However, critics argue this is a legal workaround, not a real end to the conflict, pointing out that tensions remain high, with economic pressure, naval blockades, and strategic positioning continuing in the region. Lawmakers from both parties have raised concerns over executive overreach and the need for Congressional oversight in matters of war.
