American troops remain on full alert and can quickly resume operations against Iran if ordered. This is reported by CNN, citing a statement by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Kane, reports UNN.
According to him, the current truce is only a pause, not an end to the conflict, so the military remains ready for further action.
The truce is a pause. The joint forces remain ready, if there is an order or a need to resume hostilities with the same speed and precision that we have demonstrated over the past 38 days. We hope this does not happen
Kane also reported on casualties among American servicemen.
I want to honor the 13 servicemen who died during this operation. Their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their families are extremely important to us
In turn, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that American forces would currently remain in position, maintaining readiness for any developments.
We remain in place, maintaining readiness and vigilance. Our troops are ready for defense, ready for offense, and can resume operations at any moment if necessary to ensure Iran complies with the terms of the truce
