特朗普告诉美国国会伊朗冲突已结束，规避战争授权程序

Odaily reported that U.S. President Donald Trump informed Congress on Friday that hostilities against Iran had ended in April, a move aimed at bypassing congressional authorization. Under the 1973 War Powers Act, the U.S. president can deploy military force overseas for up to 60 days without congressional approval. Trump's 60-day war authority expired on May 1. Trump's letter claimed that the U.S. ceased combat operations against Iran on April 7, when the two countries reached a temporary ceasefire agreement that has since been extended. If hostilities resume, the 60-day clock would reset and restart—a legal interpretation likely to face challenges from Senate Democrats. "Since April 7, 2026, there have been no exchanges of fire between U.S. forces and Iran. The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, have now ended," Trump wrote in the letter.
