House Speaker Mike Johnson said the U.S. is 'not at war' with Iran, despite ongoing military conflict. The conflict is nearing the 60-day mark, a threshold outlined in the 1973 War Powers Resolution. Johnson stated that Congress does not need to weigh in on the matter, as the U.S. is currently trying to broker a peace. The White House is approaching the 60-day deadline, with administration officials and congressional leaders in active conversations about how to handle the requirement. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the 60-day clock may pause due to a ceasefire, but Sen. Tim Kaine disagreed.
