The Pentagon is considering renaming a U.S. military operation against Iran to “Operation Sledgehammer” if a current ceasefire breaks down, according to multiple reports. The move is described as a potential procedural step linked to the timing of congressional approval requirements. One account says that, from the Trump administration’s perspective, changing the operation’s name could restart a 60-day clock that triggers the need for congressional authorization for the use of force. The reports also place the consideration in the context of ongoing U.S.-Iran efforts to reach a broader framework agreement to end the conflict. The war began in late February, and officials described a fragile ceasefire as continuing while negotiations proceed. President Donald Trump has also threatened to resume strikes if the parties fail to reach a deal. Taken together, the coverage indicates the proposal is conditional—tied to whether the ceasefire holds—and that the rationale being discussed centers on legal and legislative process rather than any change in stated military objectives.
