Iran live updates: Trump says 'I'll let you know' if ceasefire is breached

President Donald Trump suggested that Iran hasn’t yet violated the ceasefire despite firing shots in the Strait of Hormuz, saying “I’ll let you know” when it is breached.

"They didn't shoot the ships that were guarded by us," Trump said during an Oval Office event on Tuesday.

"The blockade has been amazing. It's like a piece of steel. Nobody is going to challenge a blockade," Trump said.

Air defenses in the United Arab Emirates are dealing with projectiles launched from Iran, the Ministry of Defense said in a post on X Tuesday. It is unclear how many projectiles are involved.

"The Ministry of Defense confirms that the sounds heard in scattered areas of the country are the result of the UAE's air defense systems intercepting ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones," the ministry said.

This comes after the UAE's Ministry of Defense said 15 missiles and four drones launched from Iran were engaged on Monday.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters that Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz.

"They said they control the strait. They do not," Hegseth said.

"Iran has an ability to make that deal, but what we're demonstrating with Project Freedom is they don't control the strait. We know Iran is embarrassed by the fact that our blockade is holding, and we can run ships through, and we're going to help the world run ships through," Hegseth said Tuesday.

The fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran continues to hold, with Iranian attacks being below the threshold of ending the agreement, U.S. officials told reporters on Tuesday.

"Since the ceasefire was announced, Iran has fired at commercial vessels nine times and seized two container ships, and they've attacked U.S. forces more than 10 times, all below the threshold of restarting major combat operations at this point," Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters Tuesday.

The decision to restart military operations is a political one Caine and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not comment on.

"Right now the ceasefire certainly holds but we're going to be watching very, very closely," Hegseth said.
