President Trump formally informed Congress in a letter Friday that the ongoing ceasefire with Iran extended the timeline between the start of the war and the 60-day deadline invoked by the War Powers

The comments came one day after President Trump flatly rejected the proposal. He later clarified he was only briefed on the “concept of the deal.”

Trump administration officials said the cease-fire between the United States and Iran paused the 60-day clock that required an end to the conflict.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Senate on Thursday argued the ceasefire paused the deadline for war powers review, which would start today

President Donald Trump notified Congress on Friday that he will not seek formal authorization for military operations against Iran, arguing that a current ceasefire has effectively ended the hostilities.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is extending the ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan’s request while awaiting a “unified proposal” from Tehran, even as the U.S. military maintains its blockade of Iranian ports.

President Donald Trump said that he expects to reach a deal with Iran in negotiations to end the war Tuesday or the United States will resume bombing.

President Trump said he's extending the ceasefire until Iran has submitted a proposal in talks with the U.S. "and discussions are concluded."

A legal deadline for congressional authorization threatens to increase pressure on the administration — and underscore lagging support for the unpopular war.
