The US President Donald Trump on Friday declared that aceasefire had "terminated" hostilities against Iran, adding that theIranian threat to the United States “remains significant.”
In a letter to congressional leaders, Trump said there has been no exchange of fire withIran since the ceasefire. "The hostilities that began on February 28,2026, have terminated," he stated, arguing that argued that he didn't need lawmakers' authorisation for the conflict.
Trump vowed that he will continue to brief Congress on anychanges to the US troop presence in line with the "War Powers Act," noting that theredploying of forces is aimed at countering threats from Iran and its allies,and protecting US allies and partners.
In response, Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the top Democrat on theSenate Foreign Relations Committee, said, “After sixty days of conflict,President Trump still does not have a strategy or way out for this poorlyplanned war," calling the deadline "a clear legal threshold" forTrump to act.
Despite the ceasefire, the US and Iran have not yet reached a longer-term deal. Earlier on Friday, Trump rejected the Iranian modified proposalfor negotiations with the US through Pakistani mediators.
Under the 1973 War Powers Resolution, a US president canwage military action for only 60 days before ending it, asking Congress forauthorization or seeking a 30-day extension due to "unavoidable militarynecessity regarding the safety of United States Armed Forces" whilewithdrawing forces.
