US EditionTrump administration says its war in Iran has been ‘terminated’ before 60-day deadline
The White House says a ceasefire ended the conflict, a claim that could avert a congressional vote as lawmakers warn the deadline has passed.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump faces a midnight deadline to secure congressional authorization for Iran strikes under the War Powers Act, though the administration plans to continue military operations despite the looming 60-day cutoff.
- Triggered by early March notifications, the 60-day clock requires authorization to avoid winding down hostilities, yet the White House argues the timeline paused due to a ceasefire announced last month.
- Senator Adam Schiff introduced Thursday's failed resolution to end the conflict, stating, "After two months of war, thirteen service members' lives lost." The measure sought to curb Trump's military authority.
- Senators voted Thursday to reject the resolution curbing Trump's authority, and even if it passed the Senate, the Republican-controlled House would likely block any measure, maintaining current military operations.
- The dispute presents a high-stakes constitutional test of congressional war powers more than 50 years after the Vietnam War, though courts have rarely intervened in such political conflicts.
