Trump stated that hostilities with Iran are “terminated”

In a significant development, U.S. President Donald Trump has officially notified Congress of the termination of military actions against Iran. This declaration, detailed in a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Acting President of the Senate Chuck Grassley, marks a formal end to hostilities that commenced on February 28, 2026.

the military actions that began on February 28, 2026, have ceased.

Despite the cessation of military operations, the Trump administration maintains that the threat posed by Iran to the United States and its military personnel remains substantial. The letter emphasizes that "Despite the success of United States operations against the Iranian regime and ongoing efforts to ensure lasting peace, the threat posed by Iran to the U.S. and our armed forces remains significant."

This move comes in the wake of Iran's recent diplomatic overtures, including a proposal for negotiations with the U.S. transmitted via Pakistan. While President Trump acknowledged receiving the proposal, he publicly stated his dissatisfaction with its current terms. The U.S. adheres to the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which allows for military actions for 60 days without congressional approval, after which an extension or cessation is required.

Despite the success of United States operations against the Iranian regime and ongoing efforts to ensure lasting peace, the threat posed by Iran to the U.S. and our armed forces remains significant.

The situation highlights the complex and often tense relationship between the U.S. and Iran. The notification to Congress suggests a potential shift in U.S. policy, moving away from direct military engagement towards diplomatic channels, albeit with continued skepticism regarding Iran's intentions and proposals. The ongoing dialogue, mediated by Pakistan, indicates a persistent effort to find a resolution, even amidst deep-seated mistrust.

At the moment, I am not satisfied with what they are offering.
