US President Donald Trump says Washington is assessing reports of incidents involving commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, declining to confirm whether the ceasefire has been breached.
Asked by US media if the truce remained intact, Trump responded: “We’ll let you know.”
“Ships are moving. You know, we moved quite a few last night – big ones. There was no firing. I guess there has been some recently. I’m looking into it,” he said.
Trump added that the continuation of the ceasefire would be in Iran’s interest.
He said Iran “better hope [the ceasefire] remains in effect” and that “the best thing that can happen to them is that we keep it in effect”.
