Trump claims Iran war has ended due to legal deadline

US President Donald Trump has stated that the US military operation in Iran has been terminated, citing a ceasefire agreement. The statement was made as the 60-day legal deadline for the operation to be authorized by Congress approached.

According to reports, the Trump administration had previously announced plans to withdraw from the Iran war, but it appears that the operation has now officially ended. The exact details of the ceasefire agreement are not yet clear.

In a separate development, oil prices have fallen following news that Iran has sent an updated peace proposal to mediators in Pakistan. The proposal is said to include concessions on issues such as nuclear capabilities and regional security.

The Trump administration has stated that it does not require congressional authorization for military operations in Iran, citing the ceasefire agreement. However, the exact implications of this statement are unclear.

The US military operation in Iran began in January 2020, following a series of attacks on US personnel and facilities in the region. The operation was initially authorized by Congress under the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) Act.

As the 60-day deadline approached, there were concerns that the operation would not be terminated without congressional approval. However, Trump’s statement suggests that the operation has now officially ended.

The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected in the coming days.
