Hegseth says ‘the ceasefire is not over’ after U.S., Iran exchange fire
U.S. officials said Iran attacked commercial vessels nine times and seized two container ships after the ceasefire, leaving more than 1,500 ships waiting to transit.
- On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth affirmed that the ceasefire with Iran remains in effect while launching 'Project Freedom,' a temporary operation to escort commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz more than two months ago following the U.S.-Israeli war that began February 28, prompting the U.S. Navy to enforce a naval blockade on Iranian ports since April 13.
- U.S. forces sank six Iranian boats while guiding two merchant ships through the waterway on Monday, though an Iranian commander disputed this, claiming 'two small boats carrying people' were struck, killing five civilians.
- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned attacks on the United Arab Emirates, while Iranian officials asserted the U.S. mission violates the ceasefire, calling American tactics 'international extortion.'
- Lawmakers scrutinize the operation under the 1973 War Powers Resolution, as the administration maintains the mission is temporary and argues 'the 60-day clock pauses or stops in a ceasefire.
