Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

US President Donald Trump has informed Congress that the US war in Iran has been “terminated.” According to reports, Trump made this statement during a meeting with lawmakers.

The 60-day deadline for the US military operation in Iran was set by Congress. However, Trump claims he does not need approval from Congress to continue the conflict.

Trump’s administration has stated that the war in Iran has indeed ended before the 60-day deadline.

Additionally, reports suggest that Trump aims to reset the clock on war powers with a controversial bid to bypass Congress.

The US military operation in Iran was launched in response to an attack on US personnel at a military base. The conflict has been ongoing since then.

It is worth noting that Trump’s statement about terminating hostilities with Iran has sparked debate among lawmakers and experts.
