On February 28, President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" to eliminate "imminent threats from the Iranian regime," marking the beginning of a bombing campaign known as Operation Epic Fury.
April 29 will mark the 60th day of a war that Trump initially guessed would last only four to five weeks. Under the War Powers Act of 1973, the president must formally seek congressional approval for the war or request a 30-day extension. If he fails to do so, he is legally obligated to terminate all military efforts.
