U.S. Forces Staying In The Mideast Despite Ceasefire

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

On the second day of the two-week ceasefire, no U.S. forces are being sent home with 50-thousand U.S. service members, the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, 16 warships and more than a dozen air squadrons remaining in place. President Trump warned that U.S. forces would hit Iran even harder than before if it did not fulfill the agreement but what that agreement is, remains in dispute. Much attention remains on the Strait of Hormuz with reports that Iranian forces have put more mines in the waterway. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Ret. U.S. Army Colonel Ray Gerber who says if U.S. troops get involved, this would be a long lasting conflict.
