## Transcript

Your secretary picks up the last 24 hours or so. Ron's fired at us. We fired at Iran. I'm just going to ask you more directly. Is the cease fire over? No, the cease fire is not over. Ultimately, this is a separate and distinct project, and we expected there would be some some churn at the beginning, which which happened. And we said we would defend and defend aggressively. And we absolutely have. Iran knows that. Uh, and ultimately, uh, the president is going to make a decision whether anything were to escalate into a violation of a cease fire. But certainly we would urge Iran to be prudent in the actions that they take to keep that underneath this threshold.

This is about the Straits. This is about freedom of navigation. This is about international waterways. This is about free flow of commerce. All the things that happened before and only Iran is contesting. Uh, so, so right now, the cease fire certainly holds, but we're going to be watching very, very closely. Our view is, is the one you described that ultimately, um, with the with the cease fire, the clock stops. If it were to restart, that would be the president's decision. Uh, that option is always there. And Iran knows that. And that's why, you know, the, their choices in project freedom are important.

The president retains the, uh, the opportunity and the capabilities, more capabilities than we had at the start of this to restart major combat operations if necessary. If Iran is not willing to follow through on, on its side of the bargain or make a deal, then the War Department is postured, locked, loaded and ready to go. Uh, we hope it doesn't have to go in that direction, but Admiral Cooper and our forces are in a three point stance and ready to go.
