On Monday, shortly after President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, the two countries accused each other of violating the terms of the agreement. NJ Spotlight News spoke with Michael Boyle, an associate professor of political science at Rutgers University, to explain.

“The substantive terms of what it actually means when we say we have a ceasefire are really unclear,” Boyle said. “The devil is in the details.”

Meanwhile, a NATO summit is being held in the Netherlands this week, where the United States’ allies will discuss their defense spending and how they’ll respond next to the U.S. strikes on Iran. Back in Washington, the Trump administration postponed two separate intelligence briefings scheduled for Tuesday with members of the House and the Senate.

“To me, the interesting question is going to be whether the Trump administration decides to … give any substantive information to Congress,” Boyle said. “And secondly, what the Democrats choose to do with it… The Democrats are now mobilizing around concerns about reinvigoration of the War Powers Act to stop presidents from simply doing what President Trump did, which was bombing without an authorization of war — and then more or less denying congressional scrutiny from it.”
