\n
The Trump administration is arguing that the war in Iran has already ended because of the ceasefire that began in early April, an interpretation that would allow the White House to avoid the need to seek congressional approval.<\/p>\n
The statement furthers an argument laid out by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth during testimony in the Senate earlier Thursday, when he said the ceasefire effectively paused the war. Under that rationale, the administration has not yet met the requirement mandated by a 1973 law to seek formal approval from Congress for military action that extends beyond 60 days.<\/p>\n
A senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the administration\u2019s position, said for purposes of that law, \u201cthe hostilities that began on Saturday, February 28 have terminated\u201d. The official said the US military and Iran have not exchanged fire since the two-week ceasefire that began April 7.<\/p>\n
While the ceasefire has since been extended, Iran maintains its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, and the US Navy is maintaining a blockade to prevent Iran\u2019s oil tankers from getting out to sea.<\/p>\n
Under the War Powers Resolution, the law that sought to constrain a president\u2019s military powers, President Donald Trump had until Friday to seek congressional authorisation or cease fighting. The law also allows an administration to extend that deadline by 30 days.<\/p>\n
Democrats have pushed the administration for formal approval of the Iran war, and the 60-day mark would likely have been a turning point for a swathe of Republican lawmakers who backed temporary action against Tehran but insisted on congressional input for something longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
