U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the ceasefire agreement with Iran remains in effect, despite recent clashes between forces from both sides in the Strait of Hormuz.
On 7 May 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump told domestic media that the ceasefire agreement the U.S. made with Iran is still in force, even though just hours earlier there had been an exchange of gunfire between U.S. and Iranian forces in the Strait of Hormuz.
"The ceasefire is still ongoing. It remains in effect," Trump told Rachel Scott from ABC News in a telephone interview, adding that the retaliatory attack was just a "light warning nudge."
Earlier, the U.S. conducted strikes on Iranian military facilities on Thursday local time, claiming it was in response to Iran attacking an American warship passing through the Strait of Hormuz, despite no prior provocation.
Meanwhile, an Iranian military spokesperson earlier the same day alleged that the U.S. violated the ceasefire agreement by targeting an Iranian oil tanker headed toward the Strait of Hormuz.
