Trump Administration Declares End to Iran Conflict

0:00The Trump administration just declared his conflict with Iran over, thanks to a ceasefire that kicked in early April, dodging that 60-day deadline, for congressional approval. Defense Secretary Pete Hakeseth laid it out in Senate testimony this week, calling the ceasefire a full pause on the war so they haven't hit the limit. Under that 1973 law, this move keeps the White House from needing Congress's okay for extended action, with a top official confirming no fire exchanged since the two week. Those who started on April 7th, hostilities traced back to February 28th are now officially terminated even as the ceasefire got extended. Meanwhile, Iran still grips the straight-of-form moves tight, while the U.S. Navy runs a blockade on their oil tankers, so the stand-off lingers under this. So-called peace.
