According to American media reports, the White House announced in a letter to Congress that the conflicts with the Islamic Republic have "ended."
This stance effectively allows Trump to bypass the legal deadline of May 1 for obtaining congressional authorization to continue the war.
On Friday evening, Donald Trump stated that he would not seek formal permission from Congress to continue the war with the Islamic Republic.

Before sending this letter:
Today, Friday, marks sixty days since Donald Trump, the President of the United States, officially informed Congress about the attacks against Iran.
The U.S. and Israel began their attacks on Iran on February 28, and two days later, on March 2, Donald Trump officially notified Congress.
Under U.S. law, the President is required to "terminate any use of U.S. armed forces" within 60 days of such notification—unless Congress grants permission to continue.
Mr. Hegst was answering questions from Senate members on Thursday. In response to senators' questions, he said, "We are currently in a ceasefire, and our understanding is that the 60-day clock stops during the ceasefire."
Democratic Senator Tim Kaine replied, "I do not believe the law supports this. I think the 60 days may end tomorrow, and this will raise an important legal question for the government."
