US Defense Secretary Says Ceasefire Holds

developing Times Radio UK Washington D.C. 8d7d Impact 9

Pete Hegseth stated during a Pentagon briefing that American destroyers are supported by hundreds of jets, helicopters, and drones to monitor shipping routes. The first step involves mapping a safe path for vessels to cross the Strait and then providing a defensive umbrella to cover and secure that route. Discussions have commenced with shipping operators and stranded sailors regarding the implementation of the safe corridor and defensive umbrella. The source discussed the requirement for protecting units and commercial vessels seeking safe passage. Defense Secretary Hagel Seth stated the US military does not seek conflict with Iran and does not require entry into Iranian territorial waters or airspace to conduct operations. The Secretary of War stated that Washington is ensuring it maintains control over the critical naval route of the Strait of Hormuz.

Defense Secretary Hagel Seth stated the US military does not seek conflict with Iran and does not require entry into Iranian territorial waters or airspace to conduct operations. The Secretary of War stated that Washington is ensuring it maintains control over the critical naval route of the Strait of Hormuz. US Defense Secretary Hagerty said that US freedom of navigation operations in the Strait are temporary victories. This follows a period of heightened tension where rocket alarms were triggered on mobile devices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Most intercepted Iranian rockets and drones caused minimal damage, comparable to a fire at a Fujairah oil facility. Hegseth's statement is described as a renewed acknowledgment of the current status. The Pentagon has characterized the situation as potentially a limited operation. No specific details regarding the location or parties of the ceasefire were provided in the transcript.
