Summary:
On May 1, President Donald Trump informed Congress that hostilities with Iran, which began on February 28, have ended. This notification coincided with the 60-day deadline set by the 1973 War Powers Resolution, requiring the president to terminate military action unless Congress authorizes continued use of armed forces. Since the initial notification, Washington and Tehran have entered into a ceasefire. The resolution mandates the cessation of hostilities within 60 days without congressional approval for further military engagement.

Scripture: Proverbs 21:1-2 (NASB 1977)
"The kings heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.
Every mans way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts."
Commentary:
Leaders can announce an end to hostilities, but the deeper currents are still in Gods hand. A ceasefire may quiet headlines, yet families and soldiers on the ground still watch every new development closely. When presidents and parliaments weigh deadlines and authorizations, Scripture says the Lord is not excluded from those decisions, even when motives are mixed.

Prophetic Trend:
Wars pause through political restraints and ceasefires, yet the broader pattern of shifting power and brittle agreements continues to intensify.
