## Resource

Iran fired on three ships and seized two of them in the Strait of Hormuz on the morning of April 22nd, while Donald Trump was publicly claiming Iran had agreed to extend the ceasefire. Fox News Pentagon correspondent Jennifer Griffin, one of the most respected military reporters in the country, stated plainly that Iran never agreed to any ceasefire extension. Trump's Truth Social posts — which Hawk notes were almost certainly not written by Trump himself — directly contradict what is happening on the ground.
