Trump notifies Congress of resumed hostilities with Iran after July 7 strikes

Trump notified Congress that hostilities with Iran have resumed following July 7 strikes. The US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports as fighting intensifies over control of the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran claims to guard. This escalation could destabilize the region, affect global markets, and influence US political dynamics. The situation marks a significant increase in tensions as both nations engage in direct conflict over strategic maritime corridors and regional security.
