President Trump says US Navy will begin blockade of Strait of Hormuz

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the U.S. achieved all its objectives in Iran, leaving the regime with no choice but to cut a deal.

"America's military achieved every single objective on plan, on schedule, exactly as laid out from day one," Hegseth said.

Hegseth listed some of the Iranian leaders killed in the war and sites the U.S. destroyed.

"This new regime is out of options and out of time, so they cut a deal," Hegseth said. "We control their fate, not the other way around. That's why they came to the table."

Hegseth claimed Iran can "no longer build missiles, build rockets, build launchers or build UAVs. Their factories have been razed to the ground, set back in historic fashion."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth claimed the U.S. reached a "decisive military victory" in Iran under President Donald Trump at a press conference Wednesday.

"Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it," Hegseth said.

President Donald Trump continued to celebrate the two-week ceasefire with Iran that he announced Tuesday, promising there will be no uranium enrichment and that talks on tariff and sanction relief are ongoing, he said in a social media post.

Trump continued to insist there will be “no enrichment of Uranium,” despite the Iranians claiming that the U.S. agreed to its plan, which includes numerous concessions.

The president added that “the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear “Dust.””

The Iranian Supreme National Security Council’s statement Tuesday included “acceptance of enrichment” in Iran’s 10-point plan.

The president also indicated that the U.S. will be discussing tariff and sanction relief with Iran saying, “We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran.”

Without providing details, Trump claimed “many of the 15 points” in the U.S. proposal “have already been agreed to.”

Trump has said the ceasefire will go into effect when the Strait of Hormuz reopens.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in a post to X on Wednesday that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian "reaffirmed Iran's participation in the upcoming negotiations" with the U.S. planned for Friday in Islamabad.
