The Pentagon says a ceasefire with Iran remains in effect despite hostile exchanges in the Strait of Hormuz. Across multiple reports, Gen. Dan Caine assesses that recent actions do not cross the threshold that would trigger a return to “major combat operations.” The statements indicate that while there are still exchanges in the strategic waterway, U.S. officials view them as remaining below levels that would prompt a wider military restart. The reporting is consistent across outlets: all cite Gen. Dan Caine’s characterization that the activity is limited enough to avoid escalation to major combat. The sources also align that the Pentagon’s position is based on whether current actions meet predetermined operational thresholds, rather than on whether any hostility occurred. Overall, the reports describe an ongoing ceasefire posture that the Pentagon believes is holding, with the situation in the Strait of Hormuz monitored for any changes that could alter the U.S. assessment.
