“The ceasefire between the United States and Iran is still in force”
DISPUTED
Sources provide conflicting information regarding the status of the ceasefire. One source (Hegseth) and the US government insist it 'certainly holds' and is 'not over', while another source reports the ceasefire is 'shattered' or 'on the brink' due to Iranian strikes on the UAE and clashes in the Strait of Hormuz.
