US-Iran Tensions Escalate Despite Ceasefire

Despite a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran, both countries have fired at each other in the Strait of Hormuz. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the ceasefire is holding, but Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf accuses the US of violating the agreement. (The Hill reports that tensions are escalating in the region, while Reuters notes that the US Navy has been directed to ensure safe passage of commercial ships.)
