The article reports on President Trump's claim that a ceasefire with Iran means he doesn't need congressional approval to continue military actions like blockades and troop deployments. It highlights how his administration justifies bypassing the 60-day legal deadline by saying hostilities have ended, even though tensions and military readiness persist. The piece points out this interpretation leaves out whether ongoing coercive measures still count as 'hostilities' under the law.
