🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — BREAKING: Trump formally notified Congress that fighting has resumed in Iran, New York Times reports.

➡️ In a letter to congressional leaders sent Friday and obtained by NYT, Trump wrote that US forces engaged in “defensive strikes against targets within Iran” on July 7.

➡️ The notification reignites the dispute between Capitol Hill and the White House over the president’s authority to continue waging war in Iran without congressional approval.

➡️ Both chambers have already voted to direct the president to end the war or seek approval to continue it — but the White House maintains Trump is acting within his constitutional authority as commander in chief.
