U.S. President Donald Trump is under pressure as he approaches a deadline to either conclude the Iran war or seek an extension from Congress. Analysts suggest that instead of ending the conflict, which has turned into a standoff over shipping routes, Trump is likely to notify Congress of a 30-day extension. This ongoing situation reflects a deepening partisan divide in Congress regarding war powers, with Democrats advocating for a stronger role for Congress in declaring war, while Republicans accuse them of attempting to undermine the President's authority. The current ceasefire with Tehran is being interpreted by the Trump administration as a potential conclusion to hostilities, complicating the political landscape further.
