BREAKING: IRAN HITS SHIPS, YEMEN ATTACKS SAUDI, U.S. CONSULATE IN UAE SHUT - w/ Malcolm Nance
What was said
"In a letter sent to congressional leaders on Friday and obtained by the New York Times on Monday, the president wrote that American forces engaged in defensive strikes against targets within Iran on July 7th."
President Trump has formally notified Congress that military hostilities with Iran resumed on July 7th, triggering a new 60-day War Powers Act clock that expires September 7th. The notification classifies these as a new phase of conflict requiring congressional authorization to continue beyond the deadline. This comes as Trump has lost key Senate allies including Lindsey Graham and faces difficulty securing war authorization votes.
