Iran begged for this ceasefire, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says | FOX 10 Phoenix

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that Iran "begged for this ceasefire" after the U.S. and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire.

The deal allows President Donald Trump to pull back from his Tuesday threat where he said a "whole civilization will die" if a deal wasn't reached. However, some attacks in Iran and Gulf Arab countries continued Wednesday.

Hours after a two-week ceasefire agreement to stop the war in Iran was announced, U.S. Vice President JD Vance called the ceasefire agreement "a fragile truce" but did not go into detail.

Vice-President Vance spoke at an event in Hungary. The deal was supposed to include plans for a ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz but the deal was being misrepresented in Iran

"You have people who are lying about even the fragile truce that we’ve already struck," Vance said.
