Trump tells Congress hostilities “terminated” and no approval needed for Iran conflict | BBC News
President Trump has told Congress that US hostilities with Iran have “terminated” owing to an ongoing ceasefire as he argued that he did not need lawmakers’ authorisation for the conflict. That risks leading to a showdown with lawmakers who do not accept that interpretation of the law.
The president has written to congressional leaders stating: “There has been no exchange of fire between the United States Forces and Iran since April 7, 2026…. The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026 have terminated.”
It came 60 days after he formally notified Congress of strikes against Iran. US law requires the president to “terminate any use of United States Armed Forces” within 60 days of such a notification – unless Congress allows a continuation.
“I have and will continue to direct United States Armed Forces consistent with my responsibilities and pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct United States foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive,” Trump wrote.
The relevant piece of US law, the decades-old War Powers Resolution, makes certain requirements of a president “within sixty calendar days” of their use of US armed forces in combat.
Trump has also repeated his claim that Iran wants to make a deal to end the war in the Middle East, but said he cannot accept their proposals. He also told reporters that Iranian leaders were “confused” and could not agree, because the US military attack on their country had been so successful.

As governments and businesses confront their reliance on US tech giants, AI Decoded explores whether Britain can build its own AI future — and how quickly it must act.
Now, a sudden decision from Washington is sending shockwaves through the global AI industry, restricting access to some of America’s most advanced systems — even for its allies.
For UK companies, it raises a stark question: what happens when the technology you depend on is no longer available?
Presenter Marc Cieslak is joined by Yang Li of East London startup Cosine, now racing to build a “sovereign” British alternative as demand surges following the US clampdown. Tech author and Bloomberg reporter Katrina Manson also joins to unpack the national security stakes, alongside co-host Stephanie Hare.

An unassuming lumpy grey fossil that’s been sitting, forgotten in a drawer in Cambridge for the last 40 years has turned out to be something very precious.
It was collected during an expedition to Antarctica in 1985, but after being re-discovered by the collections manager, it’s now been analysed by scientists and has proved to be the first dinosaur bone ever discovered in Antarctica.
Not only that, but it’s from a type of Titanosaur – the family of dinosaurs that were the largest ever to walk the Earth. Its re-discovery gives us a better understanding of how these giants roamed all parts of the Earth millions of years ago.
