"RUHLE: Peter, what are you hearing from the White House tonight? Is there concern that the ceasefire could fall apart? BAKER: Well, there's concern, but I think they seem very determined at this point to maintain the ceasefire, even as there's plenty of fire, right? You know, missiles are flying, boats are being"
"RUHLE: Hold on can you just say that again? Because that's absolutely absurd. And we need to just punctuate where we are. Just say it again. BAKER: It's a ceasefire with lots of fire going on.

And they're trying to basically find a path to get out of this."
"Earlier in the day, Trump took questions from reporters, one of whom asked about his decision to halt Project Freedom, a military effort to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump ended the endeavor after one day. The reporter asked if he would resume the project because of high gas prices. Well, no gas prices have come down today. Have you looked? They've come down very substantially today, Trump said, even though gas prices went up and stocks were down on Thursday."
The U.S. and Iran exchanged fire during a pause in hostilities that began after U.S. and Israel bombing of Iran on Feb. 28. President Donald Trump described the latest U.S. strikes as a “love tap.” Iran restricted transit through the Strait of Hormuz, which it largely controls. A ceasefire is being maintained despite continued attacks, with fire levels described as relatively modest compared with earlier exchanges. White House concerns focus on keeping the ceasefire in place while seeking a way out. Trump also ended Project Freedom, a plan to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, after one day, and responded to questions about gas prices by claiming they had fallen substantially.
