Washington: war 'terminated' by decree, Congress outraged
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
US coverage is deeply polarized on the constitutional question. Bloomberg and NPR precisely describe the War Powers Act mechanics: Trump had to either end hostilities or seek congressional authorization within 60 days. The White House's claim that the truce 'terminated' hostilities is called 'an attempt to bypass the deadline' by NPR. The New York Times publishes two remarkable pieces: one on 'Iranians living with pain and powerlessness' — a striking portrait of Tehran after war — and another on the Iran war's impact on Africa's economy. Fox News validates the administration's position, framing Obama's Iran negotiator's criticism as lacking 'credibility.'
