Trump Notifies Congress Of Renewed War With Iran. President Donald Trump has formally notified Congress that the U.S. is once again at war with Iran, triggering a new 60-day period for military action without congressional approval. In a letter dated July 10, Trump said the military campaign launched on July 7 was necessary to protect U.S. interests at home and abroad. The renewed conflict follows the collapse of a fragile ceasefire, with tensions focused on the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil shipping route. Trump has also announced plans to reimpose a blockade and take control of the Strait of Hormuz, charging ships to pass through the waterway. U.S. Central Command said American forces have struck more than 300 Iranian military targets in the past week, with further attacks launched on Monday. The renewed notification comes after Trump previously told Congress the war had ended in May, a move critics argued misinterpreted the War Powers Act. Congress has voted to limit U.S. military involvement in Iran, with bipartisan majorities in both the Senate and House supporting measures requiring congressional approval. Trump said U.S. forces remain ready to take further action against Iran to protect American interests and allies if necessary.
