"We're not going anywhere," said US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, BBC reports.
He says US troops will make sure Iran complies with the ceasefire and comes to the table for a deal. Troops will "stay put, stay ready, stay vigilant" and be "ready to re-start at a moment's notice".
On the Strait of Hormuz, Hegseth cites the ceasefire's terms, saying Iran has agreed to let ships go through the strait.
"That will be happening, they will be sailing," he adds.
