Hegseth says US-Iran ceasefire remains in place
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the US-Iran ceasefire remained in place.
"Of course it's a ceasefire," Hegseth told reporters before departing France, where he had attended a World War II memorial ceremony.
He added that President Donald Trump was "very clear things can happen intermittently" during a ceasefire, but remained focused on negotiations.
"We're negotiating actively," Hegseth said. "Things are happening, shipping is moving through. Iran shouldn't be shooting at it. And when they do, we take care of that as you would expect."
"But ultimately, we think a deal, a great deal, is likely coming soon," he added.
