Trump allegedly notified Congress of the resumption of war in Iran

On July 14, according to a report by the New York Times on the 13th, U.S. President Trump had officially notified Congress that the war in Iran had resumed. The report said that the newspaper obtained a letter from Trump to congressional leaders on the 10th that day, which wrote that the US military carried out a "defensive strike" against targets in Iran on the 7th. The report pointed out that the letter once again intensified the dispute between Congress and the White House. Although the Senate and House of Representatives had previously voted to require the president to end the war or seek approval before continuing action, the White House insisted that Trump, as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, is Acting within the scope of his constitutional powers.
