Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insisted that the ceasefire remains in effect despite shots being fired in the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. has sunk six Iranian boats since it launched “Project Freedom” early Monday to help reopen the crucial waterway for shipping that has been largely stalled since the start of the war on February 28.
Iran also launched missiles and drones.
The defense secretary was asked point-blank at his Tuesday press briefing if the escalating hostilities meant the end of the ceasefire, but he denied it, arguing they were different operations.
