U.S. Administration Declares Iran Conflict Over, Citing Ceasefire

The Trump administration has announced the termination of the conflict in Iran, citing a ceasefire in place since early April. This declaration, made as a 60-day deadline for congressional approval approached, aims to circumvent the War Powers Resolution. Despite the cessation of hostilities, Iran maintains control of the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. Navy continues a blockade. Congress has not acted on the matter as the deadline passes.
