Iran Proposes New Peace Plan Amid U.S. Claims of War Termination
Iran has submitted a new peace proposal to the United States through Pakistani mediators, as reported by Iranian state media. This development comes as the Trump administration asserts that the war with Iran has been terminated, thus avoiding the need for congressional approval to extend military operations beyond the 60-day limit set by the War Powers Act. The ceasefire, which began on April 7, has seen no exchange of fire between the two nations. However, the specifics of Iran's proposal remain unclear, and it is uncertain whether the U.S. will accept it. President Trump has claimed that the U.S. has already won the war but expressed a desire to secure a more decisive victory. The Senate recently rejected the Iran War Powers Resolution for the sixth time, which would have required congressional approval to continue military actions.
