Trump says ceasefire with Iran still holds amid renewed warnings
US President Donald Trump has said the ceasefire with Iran remains in effect, even after reported exchanges of fire involving American and Iranian forces in the Strait of Hormuz.
He said Tehran should sign an agreement quickly and warned of consequences if it does not.
The comments came on Thursday, according to the supplied report.
The statement adds to pressure on Iran at a sensitive moment in the wider confrontation.
It also suggests Washington is still publicly backing the ceasefire while signalling that the truce remains fragile.
The Strait of Hormuz is a strategically important waterway, and any military contact there can quickly raise concerns about wider disruption.
The latest remarks therefore matter not only for US-Iran relations but also for regional security.
The supplied material does not give further details on the reported exchange of fire, including the scale of the incident or whether there were casualties.
It also does not say what form any proposed agreement would take.
