"Despite President Trump's claims of a successful military operation, the Iran War has not ended, and the conflict remains unresolved with ongoing threats from Iran's military capabilities."
"The War Powers Resolution mandates that presidents notify Congress within 48 hours of military action and withdraw troops within 60 days unless authorized by Congress, which the Trump administration has ignored."
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the 60-day clock pauses during a cease-fire, but this assertion lacks legal backing, raising questions about the administration's interpretation of military law."
The U.S. and Israel's joint air strikes in the Iran War have lasted 62 days, with no resolution in sight. A cease-fire has held since April 7, but peace negotiations are stalled. The conflict has led to a global economic crisis, ongoing threats from Iran, and the war is deemed illegal under the War Powers Resolution. The Trump administration's claims that the law does not apply and that hostilities have ceased lack legal support, raising concerns about military actions and troop withdrawal.
