YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Dan Caine will brief reporters Tuesday morning on the Iran war — as tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening the already-fragile ceasefire.
The conflict hit the 60-day mark last week, though the Trump administration has argued the temporary truce stopped the clock. President Trump has already called the timeline — established under the War Powers Act to give the president authority to deploy troops without congressional approval — unconstitutional.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is leading a push for a vote on a resolution to authorize the use of military force beyond the 60-day threshold following tit-for-tat strikes, but not everyone is on board.
