'We're not at war right now': House Speaker Johnson makes stunning claim after Trump's barrage on Iran [View all]

Source: Independent

House Speaker Mike Johnson rejected the idea that the United States is at war with Iran despite President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth both saying the U.S. is at war.

The speaker delivered his weekly press conference, his first since Trump and Israel launched strikes on Iran over the weekend, and rejected the notion that the House needed to have a vote on the War Powers Act as the U.S. Senate was expected to later Wednesday.

“We’re not at war right now, we’re four days into a very specific, clear mission and operation,” Johnson told reporters. Rather, Johnson maintained that Iran had declared war on the United States — after the U.S. strikes that wiped out their leadership structure.

The claim comes despite the president's announcement of strikes on Iran alongside Israel. The White House and the Pentagon have dubbed the mission “Operation Epic Fury.”
