CBI News takes you to the Pentagon as US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chair of the Joint Chiefs Dan Caine brief the media from in Arlington on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
It comes after the US and Iran agreed a conditional two-week ceasefire on Tuesday night. Both sides declared 'victory'.
Donald Trump said the new deal would depend on the "complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz". Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran would allow 'safe passage' through the Strait during the ceasefire "via co-ordination with Iran's Armed Forces".
Peace talks are expected in Islamabad on Friday.
