U.S. Defense Secretary Comments on Military Actions Without Congressional Approval

According to a report by CCTV, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated on May 5 that U.S. President Donald Trump does not need to seek congressional approval to continue military actions, given the current administration's stance that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran is still in effect. Hegseth emphasized that if Trump decides to resume military strikes, discussions on the matter will naturally follow.
