Will the war between the United States and Iran continue? Trump has "notified" Congress but still believes there is hope for a deal!

According to reports from CCTV News and other media, the latest news from the United States on the 13th stated that US President Trump has officially notified Congress that the war in Iran has resumed. Trump wrote in a letter to congressional leaders on the 10th that the US military carried out a "defensive strike" against targets in Iran on the 7th.

The War Powers Resolution requires the commander-in-chief to notify Congress within two days of any military action overseas. "U.S. ground forces were not involved in these attacks. They were limited, controlled, planned, and executed in a manner that minimized civilian casualties," the president wrote in the letter.

According to the War Powers Act passed by the United States in 1973: If the president uses the U.S. military without a declaration of war or authorization from Congress, he must withdraw the troops within 60 days, unless Congress passes an authorizing resolution within that period.

30-day extension: If the President submits a written explanation to Congress proving that additional time is needed to ensure the safety of the withdrawal of troops, he may be granted an extension of up to 30 days, but no new offensive operations may be carried out during this period.

Overdue deployment: After more than 90 days (60+30), if Congress has not authorized it, the president must completely withdraw the troops, otherwise it will be considered illegal. Trump wrote in the letter that he was writing to let Congress know about his powers under the War Powers Act.

Democrats and some Republicans have expressed concerns in the past that Trump went beyond legal authority by launching war against Iran without congressional approval. Last month, the U.S.

Senate passed a resolution limiting the president's war powers, requiring President Trump to end military actions against Iran and obtain congressional authorization before taking future military actions against Iran. The resolution had previously been passed by the House of Representatives.

The war restarts, but the scale is limited The latest notification comes as the United States and Iran are resuming war over the Strait of Hormuz, an "energy chokepoint". From the weekend to Monday, the United States and Iran continued to carry out large-scale missile and drone attacks.

The latest round of fighting not only significantly accelerated the frequency of attacks, but also further expanded the scope of attacks, making the outside world cast doubt on the prospects of the temporary ceasefire agreement signed by the United States and Iran last month. At the same time, the U.S.

Central Command stated on the 13th local time that under Trump’s instructions, the U.S. military launched a third consecutive night of air strikes against Iran at 4:45 pm Eastern Time that day. U.S.

Central Command stated that the operation will continue to impose a heavy price on the Iranian armed forces and weaken its ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier in the day, Trump predicted in an interview, "Tonight and tomorrow there will be a violent attack on Iran.

The memorandum of understanding reached by the United States and Iran is to test Iran, and it itself is not very binding, and Iran failed to withstand this test." However, although the fighting has not stopped, Trump believes that the two sides may still reach an agreement.

Trump said that Iran has re-engaged with the United States, but the United States will continue to pressure it through military strikes. He reiterated that Iran will not possess nuclear weapons. Finally, Trump described the renewed U.S.

strikes against Iran as a "military skirmish" and denied that it marked a new, long-term phase in the fight, but he declined to say how long the conflict would last. "We have to continue to do this. We have significantly reduced their capabilities, but they will fight for a while," he said in an interview.

The president has downplayed the open-ended nature of the war, even as it has stretched far beyond the four-to-six-week timeline for combat operations originally set by his administration. "We've been in Vietnam for 19 years. We've only been here four months, so I feel like we've done a lot," he said. (
