7 May, Will the US Start the New War on Iran Today?

 Trump declared that the US war on Iran, called "Epic Fury" had ended in April.

The US Constitution says that only Congress can declare war, but, with nukes, the idea was that war might last half an hour, and it takes Congress at least a day to convene and vote, and the war would be over (with the US losing) before the Congress could even gather, let alone have the House and Senate agree on a Declaration of War and pass the declaration. So the Congress voted that the US President can declare a military operation, but he must get Congressional Approval before 60 days.

Trump's 60 days started on 28 February, so they ended in April. Trump did not go to Congress, but a few days ago, he said the operation ended before the 60 day limit, it was over, done.

So now Trump, probably under orders from Bibi, is planning to start another war, and the rumour mill says the new war is scheduled to start today, 7 May.

Will the US try a land invasion? A massive bombing run? Trying to shoot some Iranian fishermen?

No one can be absolutely certain that the date of 7 May is the confirmed date for the next iteration of a totally new military operation against Iran, an operation that US President Trump has every legal right to start, since the old operation was closed before the 60 day limit.

We might find out if the rumour about a new military operation against Iran is true early on 7 May, or perhaps late on 7 May. 

And it is possible that nothing of military interest will happen on 7 May.

But we will find out soon enough.
