US-Iran War Nears 60-Day Mark, Trump Faces Pressure from Congress

Washington: May 1 has become a crucial date in the ongoing fierce war between the United States and Iran. After the attack on Iran on February 28, 60 days of the war are about to end. In this situation, the problem for President Donald Trump is that if he does not get permission from the US Congress to continue the war, he will have to withdraw his troops from Iran. According to a New York Times report, Trump is under increasing pressure due to the old 1973 law'War Powers Resolution '. What is the legal obstacle? According to US law, the president can keep the army in the war for only 60 days without the approval of the Parliament. The US attacked Iran on February 28 along with Israel, which was informed to the Parliament on March 2. According to this, the 60-day legal deadline ends on May 1. If Parliament does not approve by a vote to continue the war by this deadline, military action will be unconstitutional.
