Hegseth Says Clock Paused on Iran War Approval Deadline
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has made a new argument. He says the clock has paused on a key deadline.
A Controversial Argument
The deadline required the Trump administration to seek Congress approval for the US-Israeli war with Iran. Hegseth did not provide further legal details. His remarks suggest the administration believes it has more time. Congress has not officially authorized the conflict.
This Means
The war has been ongoing for several weeks. Some lawmakers have demanded a formal vote. Hegseth’s statement may face legal challenges. Critics argue the administration is bypassing constitutional requirements. The White House has not yet commented on Hegseth’s remarks.
