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.

  • The ceasefire with Iran remains in effect despite Iranian missile, drone, and other attacks along with the ongoing U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
  • U.S. forces are escorting commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz under a mission called 'Project Freedom,' involving military assets such as destroyers, aircraft, and 15,000 service members.
  • Iran has conducted multiple attacks on commercial vessels and U.S. forces which are considered below the threshold for major combat, with the U.S. responding defensively.
  • Reports that Iran uses 'kamikaze dolphins' have been dismissed by U.S. officials, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth neither confirming nor denying U.S. use of trained dolphins, describing such claims metaphorically.
