Hegseth, Caine brief on Iran operation amid fragile ceasefire

Published | Video Starts at 28:40

Appreciate that on the ceasefire front, it's right. Their command and control capabilities are highly degraded. So their ability to talk, see sense, is at the worst it's ever been. But Their motivation to want to stay in the ceasefire is very high because they understand that a violation of that ceasefire means a commencement once again of Admiral Cooper's forces, which went very poorly for them. So they have a high incentive to maintain that cease fire, even though they can't talk and organize as well as they'd like to. (28:40–28:53)

CLAIM

Asserts that Iran is motivated to maintain the ceasefire due to past negative experiences with Admiral Cooper's forces.
