The White House is telling Congress that hostilities with Iran have "terminated" despite the continued presence of U.S. armed forces in the region. That message in a letter Friday from President Donald Trump effectively skirts a May 1 legal deadline to gain approval from members of Congress to continue the war with Iran. That deadline was already set to pass without action from Republican lawmakers who are deferring to the president. Trump also makes clear in the letter that the war may be far from over. The letter brings into stark relief the bold but legally questionable assertion of presidential power at the heart of Trump's war.

He offered a full-throated defense of the war Wednesday night in his first national address since the conflict began more than a month ago. Trump got a wide audience and a chance to articulate clear objectives for the war after weeks of changing goals and often contradictory messages — even as Iran kept up its attacks on Israel and Persian Gulf neighbors and airstrikes pounded Tehran. But he spent much of his time repeating some of the same things he said in recent weeks. He promised U.S. forces would continue to hit Iran very hard.

Trump says he'll nominate in Noem's place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin.
