Trump Declares Iran War Over, Avoiding Congressional Approval

US President Trump announced the 'conclusion' of the war with Iran in a letter to Congress, aiming to circumvent the need for congressional approval for military deployments. This move reignites a legal dispute over the War Powers Act, which mandates congressional consent for military actions beyond 60 days. Trump also suggested the 1973 law might be unconstitutional, sparking debate among lawmakers.
