Trump says Iran hostilities 'terminated' as Congress deadline arrives

President Donald Trump has told Congress that hostilities with Iran are 'terminated,' just as a 60-day deadline arrived for lawmakers to authorize military action. The administration argues the war powers deadline does not apply because the conflict is over.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also responded to the deadline, while Republicans said they would defer to Trump on the matter. Meanwhile, Trump claimed Iran is 'dying' to cut a deal, though negotiations remain deadlocked.
