May 1: War Powers letter formally ends hostilities, preserves force posture, asserts Article II constitutional authority.
May 3: “Project Freedom” announced as a humanitarian operation, not military.
May 4: US Navy escorts neutral commercial ships through Hormuz under freedom of navigation rights.
**If Iran attacks the convoy: that is Iran starting a new conflict. Trump is responding defensively, not attacking. No new War Powers clock starts because the US did not initiate hostilities. Iran did. Brilliant!**
