🗞️ In-depth summary

US President Donald Trump formally notified Congress on July 10 that hostilities against Iran resumed on July 7, initiating a new 60-day period for potential military action without congressional approval. This action follows a two-week ceasefire ordered on April 7 and subsequent diplomatic efforts. Trump stated, "I directed this military action consistent with my responsibility to protect Americans and United States' national security and foreign policy interests." The US began attacking Iran on February 28 alongside Israel, and Trump cited Iran's violation of a June 17 memorandum of understanding, specifically attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, as the reason for renewed strikes. The administration is reinstating a blockade of Iranian shipping and ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains open. Critics, including Democrats and some Republicans, argue the administration is misinterpreting the War Powers Act, which requires presidential notification within 48 hours of hostilities and termination of military action without congressional approval within 60 days. Both the Senate and House passed a resolution last month directing Trump to withdraw US forces from hostilities with Iran.
