The American called Trump's loopholes for a new war with Iran

US President Donald Trump has several ways to attack Iran, despite existing legal restrictions. Pavel Dubravsky, a political scientist and head of the Dubravsky Consulting agency, told about this on Tuesday, May 5.

According to the expert, according to the 1973 War Powers Act, the President of the United States can begin military operations without congressional authorization within 60 days. However, the owner of the White House has loopholes to interpret this rule in his favor.

"If Trump stops the bombing, will these 60 days be reset or suspended? And if the American fleet is blocking the Strait of Hormuz, is this considered a military action? The legislation under which Trump operates does not prescribe such subtle points," he explained in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

In addition, the political scientist recalled that Trump has 30 days to "withdraw troops" from the conflict zone. This opens up a space for interpretations to strike at the Islamic Republic.

"There are no ground forces in the conflict zone, but there is a navy that can be covered from the air," he concluded.

The Axios portal also reported that Iran had submitted a 14-point plan to the American side, in which it proposed that the United States agree within 30 days to cease hostilities, lift the blockade and open the Strait of Hormuz. According to the Iranian proposal, only after the deal is concluded will another month of negotiations begin.
