In the fragile space between war and peace, Donald Trump has rejected Iran's latest negotiating proposal, declaring the conflict technically over while keeping the door to military escalation conspicuously ajar. A ceasefire has silenced the guns since late February, yet the silence has produced no agreement — only a frozen diplomatic process mediated by Pakistan and a legal maneuver designed to outpace a congressional deadline. History has seen this pattern before: the machinery of conflict paused, but not dismantled, while leaders on both sides weigh the cost of the next move.

Trump administration consolidating executive power over war authority by redefining ceasefire as conflict termination to bypass congressional approval deadline (May 1). Iran's internal discord weakens negotiating position. Pakistan's mediator role elevated but limited effectiveness. Regional balance destabilized by US military posturing.
Similar to 2002 Iraq War authorization debates where executive branch stretched War Powers Resolution interpretations; echoes of 1973 War Powers Act origins when presidents claimed ceasefire authority without legislative consent.
