Trump notifies Congress of Iran strikes, starting the 60-day war powers clock

President Trump submitted a War Powers Resolution notification to Congress on March 2, 2026, reporting CENTCOM strikes against IRGC bases and Houthi infrastructure, starting the 60-day clock for authorization or withdrawal. The House rejected a war powers resolution 219-212 and the Senate defeated a similar measure 47-53. Iran retaliated with drone and missile strikes on US regional bases within 24 hours of the initial strikes.
