US military says it's carrying out its 10th consecutive night of strikes on Iran

The U.S. military is carrying out its 10th consecutive night of strikes on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. U.S.

The Associated Press:

The United States conducted a new round of airstrikes early Monday targeting Iran after announcing the death of another American service member, hitting around a northwestern city believed to be home to underground missile bases. Iran responded by launching an attack targeting Bahrain, the home of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, and Kuwait. The latest attacks again showed how, step by step, the U.S. and Iran have inched closer to all-out war as last month’s interim deal meant to permanently end the fighting has crumbled and shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has largely stalled. Both sides have targeted civilian infrastructure relied on by millions of people.

Trump tells Congress hostilities in Iran 'have terminated' as war powers deadline hits

Trump said there "is tremendous discord" among Iran's leaders, which has complicated efforts to end the war that the United States began in

CNBC:

President Donald Trump told Congress on Friday that hostilities in Iran “have terminated” since he imposed a two-week ceasefire on April 7 that has been extended. Trump’s claim came on what would have been a deadline under the War Powers Resolution of 1973 for him to ask Congress to officially declare war against Iran or authorize the use of military force against that country. Friday marks 60 days since the war began, in late February. Under the War Powers Resolution, a president must seek authorization from Congress for military force within 60 days of the start of hostilities. Congress has not authorized U.S. military action against Iran. Trump’s letters to congressional leaders Friday are a volley aimed at discouraging lawmakers in Congress from restricting military action against Iran.
