Donald Trump: Trump admin claims Iran ceasefire 'terminated' hostilities ahead of US-Congress 60-day deadline
President Donald Trump's administration maintains that the US is not at war with Iran, despite the conflict approaching a 60-day legal deadline under the War Powers Resolution. House Speaker Mike Johnson argues that no active hostilities exist, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claims the ceasefire halts the clock. However, Democrats challenge this interpretation and warn of potential legal violations. The administration has yet to seek a 30-day extension, leaving the future of US involvement in the conflict uncertain.
