Trump Notifies Congress as US Resumes Military Operations Against Iran

US President Donald Trump has formally informed Congress that military operations against Iran resumed on July 7, arguing the move resets the 60-day period during which he can continue military action without congressional approval. The administration says the decision followed Iran’s alleged violation of a June 17 agreement by attacking commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

The move has drawn criticism from Democratic lawmakers and some Republicans, who argue the administration is misinterpreting the War Powers Act and bypassing Congress’s constitutional authority over war.
