Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Donald Trump says all US forces in the Middle East are staying in place and loading up until a 'real agreement' is reached.
The two-week ceasefire announced yesterday appears fragile - and Iran's keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed in response to Israel's continued deadly attacks on Lebanon.
