President Donald Trump on Friday informed Congress that the war with Iran has officially ended. In a letter to lawmakers, Trump stated, "There has been no exchange of fire between United States Forces and Iran since April 7, 2026. The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, have terminated."
Congressional Skepticism
It remains unclear whether members of Congress will accept Trump's declaration that the war is over, especially given that the United States continues to maintain a naval blockade in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The blockade has been a point of contention, and some lawmakers may argue that ongoing military actions constitute continued hostilities.
