Trump administration rejects need for Iran war Congressional approval despite deadline – US politics live | US news
The Trump administration has rejected the 60-day deadline set by the War Powers Act for ending its military action against Iran. Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, stated that the ceasefire agreement with Iran halts the clock on the 60-day period. Senate Republicans blocked a resolution from Adam Schiff that would have limited the conflict until Congress authorizes further action. Two Republican senators, Susan Collins and Rand Paul, voted in favor of the resolution while one Democrat, John Fetterman, opposed it. Trump has threatened to withdraw troops from Italy and Spain, citing their lack of support for his war in the Middle East.
