Trump tells the U.S. Congress that the Iran conflict has ended, avoiding war authorization procedures.
BlockBeats News, May 2nd, according to The Wall Street Journal, U.S. President Trump notified Congress on Friday that hostilities against Iran had ended in April, aiming to bypass congressional authorization. Under the 1973 War Powers Act, the U.S. President can deploy military forces overseas for up to 60 days without congressional approval. Trump’s 60-day war authority expired on May 1st.
Trump’s letter claimed that the U.S. ceased combat operations against Iran on April 7th, when a temporary ceasefire agreement was reached between the two countries, and that the agreement has been extended. If hostilities resume, the 60-day countdown will reset and restart—this legal interpretation is likely to be challenged by Senate Democrats. “Since April 7, 2026, there has been no fighting between U.S. forces and Iran. The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, have now ended,” Trump wrote in the letter. (Jin Shi)
