Hegseth says 'the ceasefire is not over' after U.S., Iran exchange fire

Despite recent clashes between the U.S. and Iran, a ceasefire remains in effect. Iran's attacks were in response to the U.S.'s 'Freedom' project, aimed at escorting commercial ships from the Persian Gulf. The U.S. considers this operation a separate, distinct project from the broader conflict over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
