Hegseth says US, Iran 'ceasefire is not over,' as tensions rise in Strait of Hormuz
Pete Hegseth says the US effort to guide vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz is temporary, and "separate and distinct" from ongoing military operations in the region, one day after the US military began operations to guide ships in the waterway. Hegseth also said "the ceasefire is not over."
Gen. Dan Caine said Iran has attacked US forces more than 10 times since the ceasefire went into effect. Iran's parliament speaker said the US and its allies have jeopardized secure shipping, after a day of attacks in the strait, adding "we have not even begun yet." The United Arab Emirates said that its air defenses are "currently dealing with a missile threat" from Iran. US gas prices have increased by 50% since the start of the war.
The Interior Ministry told residents to remain in a safe place and follow guidance from the authorities in a brief statement on Tuesday. The attack on the UAE comes a day after Iran launched a missile and drone attack against the UAE for the first time since the ceasefire began in early April.
