The ceasefire between the US and Iran is being tested as Iran has attacked US forces over 10 times since it went into effect. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the US effort to guide vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz is temporary and 'separate and distinct' from ongoing military operations. Two US commercial vessels have moved through the strait, and six other ships attempting to violate the blockade were turned around. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said Iran's attacks on US forces are 'below the threshold of restarting major combat operations.' Oil prices remain above $100 a barrel amid tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
