Has the US-Iran ceasefire reset the clock on War Powers Act deadline?

The US Defense Secretary has argued that the ongoing ceasefire with Iran has effectively paused the clock on a key deadline to secure congressional approval for the US-Israel war on Iran. However, Democratic lawmakers and legal experts contest this interpretation, stating that the statute contains no provision allowing for a pause once the deadline has started. The disagreement reflects a deeper clash over how "hostilities" are defined.
