The True Post (Web News) US President Donald Trump’s administration has claimed that the ongoing tensions with Iran actually ended after the ceasefire on April 7.
According to media reports, US officials say that a ceasefire agreed in early April effectively ended the war, and no direct military clashes have been reported between the two countries since then.
which was further reinforced when US Defense Secretary Pat Hegseth testified in the Senate on April 30 that the ceasefire had effectively halted the fighting. He explained that the administration had not yet taken military action for more than 60 days under the War Powers Act of 1973, which would have required formal approval from Congress.
A senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the escalation, which began on February 28, had effectively ended. According to him, there has been no exchange of fire between US forces and Iran since the two-week ceasefire that began on April 7.
Analysts say the US administration’s stance is important both legally and politically, as it seeks to show that there is no need for large-scale military action and no need for congressional approval.
