"Just 60 days have passed since the president formally notified Congress about the military action there, on March 2. That makes today the deadline, under the War Powers Resolution (WPR), for the president to end the war."
"The administration and Republican leaders have decided to pretend the war is simply over, freeing themselves of any need to act. In a letter to Congress, the White House claims that the war has 'terminated' because of the current cease-fire."
"The war is not over in any sense: Thousands of service members are deployed, thousands of ships are trapped in the Persian Gulf, and negotiations with Iran haven't just stalled—they barely seem to exist."
The War Powers Resolution sets a 60-day deadline for military action, which has now passed regarding Trump's Iran war. Congress is expected to take no action, reflecting its ineffectiveness. The administration claims the war has ended due to a cease-fire, but this interpretation is misleading. Thousands of troops remain deployed, and negotiations with Iran are stagnant. The president's aggressive rhetoric further complicates the situation, indicating that the conflict is far from resolved.
