US Secretary of War Peter Hegseth alongside the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caineis are giving an update on the Middle East Conflict.
It come as Iran has warned the US that i "we have not even begun yet", as its navy traded blows with the US further testing the already fragile ceasefire.
Tensions continued to center around the Strait of Hormuz – a major flashpoint of the war.
Vowing to break the chokehold on Hormuz, Trump launched a new initiative on Monday, dubbed "Project Freedom" to "guide" ships through the critical oil and gas shipping channel.
But there were no major pickups in shipping traffic, however, with only four ships crossing the strait on Monday, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
