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.

UK accuses Israel of backing ethnic cleansing by “terrorist” settlers in West Bank | BBC News
The UK government has launched a scathing attack on Israel’s actions in the West Bank and Gaza. The Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said ‘terrorists’ were carrying out ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, which is illegally occupied by Israel, and said they were doing so with the backing of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
Mr Miliband announced sanctions on trade with settlements and declared that UK policy was now officially that Israel’s occupation of the West Bank was unlawful. The UK announcements are the most direct condemnation of Israeli policy since it was founded as a state, and follows a summer of violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinian communities in the occupied territories.
The UK joins 12 other countries that have announced sanctions against goods from the settlements, including France and Canada. It comes as Israel is implementing another major expansion of settlements, with the construction of E1, a new development of 1,200 homes that will cut off Palestinians in the West Bank from East Jerusalem, which they claim as the future capital of a Palestinian state.
The Israeli government reacted furiously to the British announcement, condemning the new Labour administration of Andy Burnham, and announcing the closure of the UK consulate in Jerusalem. The Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saar said the UK government was “systematically working against the state of Israel” and accused Mr Miliband of telling “outrageous lies”.

Most of us can remember exactly where we were when we heard about the September 11 terror attacks. This type of vivid recollection has been documented for other major world events too. They’re known as flashbulb memories and feel remarkably accurate, yet research suggests they can be just as unreliable as any other memory.
So why do we trust these memories so strongly and could misremembering actually benefit us?
