Deadline reached for Trump to seek approval for war with Iran | BBC News
Friday is the 60th day since US President Donald Trump formally notified Congress of the strikes against Iran on 2 March.
US law requires a president to "terminate any use of United States Armed Forces" within 60 days of such a notification - unless Congress allows a continuation.
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has argued that the clock has paused on a deadline for the Trump administration to seek approval from Congress for the US-Israeli war with Iran.
