Washington — Republican congressional leaders declined to press for a vote authorizing force as the 60-day War Powers deadline arrived on May 1, allowing the White House to continue military operations without formal congressional approval. The administration argues a ceasefire that began in early April suspends the statutory countdown required by the 1973 law. On May 1 Senate leaders had already left town after rejecting Democratic motions to halt the conflict, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he would not schedule an authorization vote. House Speaker Mike Johnson stated "We are not at war," while Iran's UN envoy responded to a joint letter from six Arab states, accusing them of facilitating strikes and defending Iran's actions as self-defense.
