'US not at war with Iran,' says Trump administration as legal deadline ends today

US House of Representatives Speaker, Mike Johnson, has said the country is "not at war" with Iran, adding, "Right now, we are trying to broker a peace." The remarks by Donald Trump-led administration come as the legal 60-day deadline for securing congressional approval for military action approaches. Earlier, Trump called the $25-billion war "a little excursion" to get the approval.
