Trump says war 'very close to over'; ceasefire deadline looms
Trump told Fox Business he believed the war would end 'fairly soon.' The U.S.-Iran ceasefire is set to expire April 21 with no lasting agreement in sight. The U.S. Senate voted 47-52 to reject a fourth war powers resolution — the War Powers Act's 60-day deadline for congressional authorization approaches at end of April.

Senate rejects war powers resolution for fourth time (47-52)
The U.S. Senate voted 47-52 to reject a fourth Democratic war powers resolution to limit Trump's Iran war — the fourth consecutive failure of Congress to reassert its constitutional authority. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was the lone Republican to join Democrats; Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) broke with his party to vote against the resolution. The War Powers Act's 60-day authorization deadline arrives at the end of April. If Congress does not act by then, the administration will have waged nearly two months of undeclared war on a sovereign nation without lawful congressional authorization.
