WASHINGTON: The US military is prepared to resume attacks on Iran if ordered by President Donald Trump, the top US general said Wednesday.

“Let us be clear, a ceasefire is a pause, and the joint force remains ready, if ordered or called upon,” General Dan Caine told a press conference.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also warned that “we stand ready in the background to ensure that Iran upholds” the terms of the truce agreed to on Tuesday.
