US says Iran ceasefire not breached but warns of 'overwhelming' potential response

The US warned Iran of ‘overwhelming’ military action despite continued attacks on commercial vessels and Gulf countries, stating that these actions did not constitute a breach of the ceasefire. The Pentagon launched ‘Project Freedom’ to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and Defense Secretary Hegseth emphasized that US forces will respond decisively to any attacks. The US also called on other nations to contribute to maintaining the security of the Strait of Hormuz.
