White House Announces Ceasefire with Iran

(White House) Iran has now agreed to a ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz as the Trump Administration negotiates a broader peace agreement. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said, "Iran begged for this ceasefire - and we all know it." Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine said there were "three distinct military objectives: destroy Iran's ballistic missile and drone capabilities, destroy the Iranian navy, and destroy their defense industrial base to ensure that Iran cannot reconstitute the ability to project power outside their borders. Over the course of 38 days of major combat operation, the joint force achieved the military objectives." Iran's ballistic missile arsenal and production capacity has been razed. The regime can no longer manufacture ballistic missiles and long-range drones. More than 85% of the regime's defense industrial base has been destroyed. Iran's air forces have been functionally neutered. Iran's navy has been obliterated. Iran's space program has been devastated.
