A 60-day War Powers Resolution deadline fell Friday, requiring President Donald Trump to either seek congressional authorization or wind down military operations in Iran.

With both sides outwardly confident they hold the upper hand and their positions far apart, there is no obvious off-ramp in sight.

President Trump on Monday urged South Korea to join the Iran war after Seoul reported an explosion on a ship traveling in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has closed off amid the war with the U.S. and Israel.

Trump announces Project Freedom to help ships escape the Strait of Hormuz amid U.S.-Iran tensions, but Iran threatens attacks.

President Donald Trump warned Iran not to interfere with “Project Freedom," saying it could be “blown off the face of the Earth" as tensions between the two nations continue.

U.S. Central Command said two merchant ships transited the Strait of Hormuz during "Project Freedom," along with Navy destroyers.

President Donald Trump's assertion comes despite the ongoing naval blockade. Iran views the move as a ceasefire violation.

President Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted to the lowest level of his current term in one presidential poll - while remaining steadfast in others - for a variety of reasons including his handling of the nation's cost of living and the ongoing war with Iran.
