A ceasefire to the Iran War entered its 25th day Saturday, one day after President Donald Trump notified Congress that the U.S. military actions against Iran “that began on February 28, 2026, have terminated.” Trump’s letter comes as U.S. servicemembers remain stationed in the region and a negotiated settlement to end the war has yet to be signed. It was reported on Friday that the Trump administration has added Nick Stewart, a lobbying executive at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies affiliate FDD Action, to U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff’s office and negotiating team.
