President Trump says the U.S.

will work with Iran to remove what he calls nuclear dust.

His online comments this morning come after he announced a ceasefire last night with Iran.

Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth says the U.S.

military scored a decisive military victory over Iran in more than five weeks of fighting.

However, he did not say how several key issues would be settled, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Here's NPR's Greg Myhre.

Retired General Joseph Votel led U.S.

Central Command and oversaw U.S.

operations in the Mideast from 2016 to 2019.

He says despite the ceasefire, Iran is still taking some military action.

He spoke to NPR's Morning Edition.

Israel says it is observing the two-week truce, but says the ceasefire does not apply to Lebanon, the base of Iran's proxy militia, Hezbollah.

The Israeli military says it has now carried out more than 100 strikes across Lebanon.

Lebanese officials say some of these strikes have been in densely populated civilian areas.

Stocks jumped sharply this morning as investors cheered the two-week ceasefire.

NPR's Scott Horsley reports the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared well over 1,200 points in early trading.
