Hegseth insists that despite attacks, cease fire still on.
“War is peace” he notes.

Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, has already declared victory. Key points of his statement include:

First, he claimed that the United States has suffered a “humiliating defeat,” which marks the beginning of a “new chapter” in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
Second, he stated that Iran shares a “common destiny” with its neighbors around the Persian Gulf, and that there is no place for “outsiders coming from thousands of kilometers away.”
Third, he described what he perceives as victory as a prelude to a “new regional and global order.”
Fourth, he emphasized Iran’s control and management over the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that this would make the region safer and prevent “misuse” by adversaries.
Finally, he referred to new legal regulations and management mechanisms in the strait that would benefit all regional nations while also generating economic dividends for Iran.

With this Iran would be, after Russia and China, the third country which in recent years decisively defeated U.S. coercion by economic and military means.

Iran has no interest in letting the U.S. get used to a blockade of Iranian traffic. It is considering to break the siege by force:

The continued American maritime piracy and banditry in the form of so-called “naval blockade” will soon be met with “practical and unprecedented action,” a high-ranking security source told Press TV on Wednesday.

Iran’s armed forces – operating under the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters as the war command – believe that patience has limits and that a punishing response is necessary if Washington maintains its illegal naval blockade around the Strait of Hormuz, the source said.
…
The high-level source further warned that a continued American blockade and closure of the Strait of Hormuz might ultimately harm the US more than Iran and that a decisive response is deemed necessary by the top military command to completely discredit even this remaining American option.
