President Donald Trump says the United States and Iran are still operating under a ceasefire after an exchange of attacks. According to reporting from ABC News and the New York Post, Trump characterizes the strikes that follow Iran’s earlier action against U.S. destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz as a “love tap.” He also states that the ceasefire “is going” and that it remains in effect. The outlets describe Trump’s comments as downplaying the escalation following the initial incident involving U.S. naval ships. The reports indicate that the U.S. and Iran exchange fire after Iran targets U.S. destroyers, and that Trump publicly reassures that the ceasefire arrangement continues despite the renewed attacks. Both sources attribute the same core claims to Trump: his “love tap” description of the follow-on strikes and his assertion that the ceasefire still holds. The accounts differ mainly in phrasing, but they align on the substance of Trump’s characterization and his stated position on the ceasefire’s status.
