President Donald J. Trump formally notified Congress of the resumption of U.S. military operations against Iran on Friday July 10th, fulfilling his reporting obligations under the War Powers Resolution. 

The notification follows the renewal of U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets and the reinstatement of the naval blockade of Iran, actions taken in response to Iran's continued attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against U.S. interests and regional partners. 

Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the President is required to notify Congress within 48 hours of introducing U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities or situations where hostilities are imminent. The notification does not itself authorize military action but satisfies the statute's reporting requirements while Congress retains its constitutional oversight role.
