President Donald Trump has notified Congress that “hostilities” with Iran have “terminated”.

His letter to both House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the Senate president pro tempore, comes 60 days after the conflict started on Feb. 28, and is designed to address a Friday legal deadline on war powers. The deadline was set to pass without any action from Congress, with both chambers now on recess.
