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.

Rioters looted shops in central Frankfurt late on Saturday as clashes erupted in German cities over the cost of living.
There were also incidents of violence in Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg, with police saying they used water cannon to disperse protesters targeting emergency workers with fireworks, stones and bottles.
Thousands joined largely peaceful demonstrations earlier in the day, organised by the campaign group Gen Z regelt, to protest against underfunding in schools, the high cost of living, public spending cuts and military service.
The unrest in Germany follows similar youth-led mass protests in France, where more than 320,000 people also demonstrated on Saturday.

Parts of England are in severe drought, with some reservoirs falling to record lows after the hottest summer on record.
Water restrictions like hosepipe bans have been widely introduced in parts of the country.
The UK government said more than £100bn is being invested in water infrastructure, with nine new reservoirs in the pipeline.
But, as droughts are expected to become more frequent and intense, questions are being asked about the long-term resilience of our water supply.
