Amid a fragile ceasefire, Donald Trump said US military assets will remain deployed in and around Iran until a “real agreement” is finalised and fully implemented. In a Truth Social post, he warned that any violation especially regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz or nuclear commitments could trigger a larger, unprecedented attack. Tensions persist as Israel continues strikes in Lebanon, which is not covered under the ceasefire, complicating regional stability. Iran has raised concerns over these developments, fuelling uncertainty about the truce. Questions also remain over whether the Strait of Hormuz is fully operational, keeping global energy markets and shipping routes on edge.
