I think everybody knew this was the plan all along.

BREAKING: President Trump has formally notified US Congress that the US is at war with Iran, per Politico.

Details include:

1. The move gives Trump another 60 days to use the military in the region without congressional approval

2. Trump said strikes that began on July 7th represent "military action consistent with my responsibility to protect Americans and US interests both at home and abroad"

3. Trump also just said that he will "hit Iran hard" tonight amid mounting tensions

The Iran War appears to be back again. https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2076777484775985242

You said 15 years

Politico always gets it wrong. Here's what he said today on Fox.

President Trump did not use the exact phrase "we are at war with Iran" today. Instead, during a July 13 Fox News Interview, he referred to the conflict as an active military operation and stated, "We're taking over the strait". He then formally declared the U.S. Blockade of Iranian ports and announced that the U.S. will begin collecting a 20% toll on all cargo shipments through the area.

I guess he said that before he officially notified congress of resuming the war.

Here's what he said to Congress.

Some social media and headlines have phrased it more dramatically (e.g., "Trump notified Congress that the US is in a new war with Iran"), but primary reporting frames it as a standard War Powers compliance for strikes, not a broad "we are at war" statement

He's doing the George Bush thing of having a war without a formal congressional declaration of war.

Sheeeeeeeetttt…lets just bribe em with pallets of cash

He tried that a couple weeks ago, it didnt work

Funny, just a few weeks ago Marco Rubio said that was illegal under Maritime law.

Trump just crawfished on the 20% statement and made a new statement.

Oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military. A special salute to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, and Commander of the United States Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper. Because of them, and all members of the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the World, BY FAR, the Strait of Hormuz is open to ALL Ship traffic except for Iran — and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION. We will therefore have a FULL Blockade, but only on Ships coming to and from Iranian ports, or carrying anything have to do with Iranian cargo. Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States. Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future. As everyone is aware, we have the largest Dollar Investment into the United States, of any Country in History, but these new Investments will make that Number even larger, and we will see Factories, Plants, and Equipment pour into the United States at Historic levels, which will create additional millions of High Paying AMERICAN Jobs! America is WINNING again, winning like never before. The days of Iran killing hundreds of thousands of people, including 52,000 protestors, are OVER and, most importantly, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
