President Donald Trump on Wednesday offered his definition of a ceasefire in the Middle East, saying it can mean "you're shooting in a more moderate manner," as questions mounted over the status of a truce involving Iran.
The remarks came during an Oval Office exchange with reporters amid continued tensions in the region and ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent a broader conflict.
'Different Part Of The World' When asked whether a ceasefire remained in effect despite reports of continued military activity, Trump suggested the agreement was largely holding.
"That's a different part of the world," Trump said.
"I'd say in that part of the world, a ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner." Trump also referenced recent U.S. military action against Iranian targets.
