Trump Reportedly Notifies Congress of Renewed Conflict with Iran

On July 14, according to a report by The New York Times on July 13, U.S. President Donald Trump has formally notified Congress of the renewed outbreak of hostilities with Iran. The report stated that the newspaper obtained a letter from Trump to congressional leaders dated July 10, in which he wrote that U.S. forces carried out a 'defensive strike' against targets in Iran on July 7. The report noted that this letter has once again intensified the dispute between Congress and the White House. Although both chambers of Congress had previously voted to require the president to end the war or seek approval before continuing actions, the White House insists that Trump, as commander-in-chief, is acting within the scope of his constitutional powers.
