Trump says he's 'not satisfied' with Iran's newest peace plan - AP News
President Donald Trump said Friday he’s “not satisfied” with Iran’s latest proposal to end the war, citing “disjointed” leadership in Tehran. He says talks continue by phone and the U.S. has “options,” but he’d prefer a deal over further military action. Trump contends hostilities with Iran have ‘terminated’ The White House asserted to Congress in a letter Friday that hostilities with Iran have “terminated” despite the continued presence of U.S. armed forces in the region.The message from Trump effectively skirts a May 1 legal deadline for gaining approval from members of Congress to continue the war with Iran. That deadline was already set to pass without action from Republican lawmakers, who are deferring to the president. The letter brings into stark relief the bold but legally questionable assertion of presidential power at the heart of Trump’s war, which he began without congressional approval two months ago.He also made it clear in the letter that the war may be far from over. “Despite the success of United States operations against the Iranian regime and continued efforts to secure a lasting peace, the threat posed by Iran to the United States and our Armed Forces remains significant,” the Republican president said. JUST IN: White House officially tells Congress it considers Iran war ‘terminated’ despite presence of US armed forces in region US military reaches deals with 7 tech companies to use their AI on classified systems Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Nvidia, OpenAI, Reflection and SpaceX will provide resources to help “augment warfighter decision-making in complex operational environments,” the Defense Department said.The use of AI can help the U.S. military reduce the time it takes to identify and strike targets on the battlefield, while aiding in the organization of weapons maintenance and supply lines, according to a report in March from the Brennan Center for Justice.Friday’s announcement comes after concerns raised by a company not on the list, Anthropic, whose battle with the Pentagon to put up AI guardrails has spilled into court. The tech company said it wanted assurances in its contract that the military would not use its technology in fully autonomous weapons and the surveillance of Americans. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the company must allow for any uses the Pentagon deemed lawful.▶ Read more Trump dismisses war powers law as ‘unconstitutional’ President Donald Trump waves as he walks to board Marine One on ...
