(Web Desk): President Donald Trump told the United States Congress that armed tensions with Iran have ended, but warned that fighting could still continue.

President Donald Trump has informed the United States Congress that armed tensions with Iran have ended, although he acknowledged that the broader dispute may not yet be fully resolved.

In a letter addressed to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate President pro tempore Chuck Grassley, Trump said the period of armed tensions that began on February 28 had now concluded. At the same time, he noted that the conflict could continue even as his administration pursues what he described as lasting peace.

Political analysts say the wording of the letter is significant. They believe that by describing the armed phase as over, the Trump administration may avoid immediate pressure to seek formal congressional approval for military action, even though American troops remain deployed across the region.

Trump also admitted in the letter that the dispute with Iran may still not be completely settled. That acknowledgment suggests Washington remains cautious about the possibility of renewed escalation.

 

 

Earlier, the US president commented on new proposals sent by Iran regarding possible negotiations. Speaking to reporters, Trump said he had spoken with Iranian officials but was not satisfied with Tehran’s latest offer.

He repeated that he does not want Iran to possess nuclear weapons, arguing that such a development would make the world more dangerous.

During the same media interaction, Trump also said he has great respect for the prime minister of Pakistan and the country’s field marshal, adding that he respects Pakistan.
