Hegseth 'seeking to reassure people US is still in control' in Middle East

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday that the ceasefire with Iran was not over, even as the US and Iran exchanged fire in the Gulf as they wrestled for control of the ​Strait of Hormuz. Hegseth's comments are part of Washington's attempts to "reassure people the US is still in control" by downplaying events on the ground, says France 24's foreign affairs editor Kethevane Gorjestani.
