Sec of War: "What we're demonstrating with Project Freedom is they don't control the Strait. We know Iran is embarrassed by the fact that our blockade is holding, and we can run ships through, and we're going to help the world run ships through." https://twitter.com/Osint613/status/2051641738947641830/video/1

🇺🇲🇮🇷 The Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Keane, states that after violations of the ceasefire regime, more than 10 attacks were carried out on American forces by Iran, but this number does not exceed the threshold that would require large-scale military response.

Keane noted that currently, due to Iran's blockade in the Strait, more than 1,550 commercial ships and 22,500 sailors are trapped in the Persian Gulf.

According to him, Iran struck 9 commercial ships and also carried out attacks on the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

According to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine, Iran has attacked U.S. forces 6 times since the beginning of the nominal ceasefire, and noted that all these attacks, presumably including strikes against their Gulf neighbors, are "below the threshold" of resuming combat operations against Iran.

SecDef Pete Hegseth pushes back on the claim that Netanyahu is pulling Trump into the conflict with Iran:

"Your question is based on the false premise that somehow President Trump is being pulled in by Prime Minister Netanyahu to any of these actions."

"President Trump has led at every step of this based on his view of American interest in America first."

"There's only one hand on the wheel ultimately directing this, whether it's Project Freedom or previously Operation Epic Fury, and it's President Trump."

"We're grateful for their input, their insights, the existential nature of the threat they face from an Iranian bomb, the capabilities that they can bring to that. But ultimately, the coordination will happen with the leadership of President Trump."
