The New York Times reports, citing a document it obtained, that President Donald Trump officially notified Congress of renewed U.S. combat operations against Iran. The notification comes as the maritime siege on Iran is set to begin tomorrow at 23:00 Jerusalem time.
The New York Times, citing a document it obtained, reported Monday evening that President Donald Trump has officially notified the U.S. Congress of renewed combat operations against Iran. The notification formalizes the administration's shift from diplomatic pressure to military action.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening at 21:10 Jerusalem, Israeli media had already indicated that Trump notified Congress and that the U.S. maritime siege on Iran would begin tomorrow at 23:00 Jerusalem. The NYT's document-based reporting now provides explicit confirmation of the notification.
The notification aligns with the Trump administration's earlier warnings, reported by The Zioneer, that the president would renew military attacks if nuclear negotiations faltered. The maritime siege, set to begin tomorrow night, is expected to target Iranian oil exports.
The full document and its contents have not been published, and the exact scope of renewed combat operations — including airstrikes, maritime actions, or other measures — remains to be detailed by official sources.
