The administration of US President Donald Trump has officially notified Congress of the end of the war with Iran. At the same time, American troops remain in the region due to the continuing threats to the US and its military.

This is reported by AP .

According to the agency, the White House sent a corresponding letter to Congress on May 1. That was the day the deadline expired for the US president to obtain permission from lawmakers to continue military action.

The material notes that Congress did not intervene in the situation, and therefore Donald Trump actually retained the right to independently manage the conflict, which began 2 months ago without separate approval from parliament.

Despite the announcement of the end of the war, the US administration stated the need for the continued presence of American troops in the region.

“Despite the success of United States operations against the Iranian regime and continued efforts to secure a lasting peace, the threat that Iran poses to the United States and our military remains significant,” said Donald Trump.

The White House emphasized that the presence of American military personnel is necessary to deter possible threats from Iran.

By the way, after the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the single decision-making center in Iran virtually disappeared , and key influence passed to the military leadership and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

It was previously reported thatUnited States Vice President J.D. Vance is scheduled to travel to Pakistan on April 21 for talks with Iran regarding a possible ceasefire.

Recall that Tehran does not plan to participate in a new round of negotiations with the United States amid the aggravation of the situation in the Strait of Hormuz .
