Hey there from CNN. I'm David Rind with the five things you need to know for Wednesday, April 8th.

Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hexeth this morning framed the ceasefire with Iran as the culmination of a complete military success.

But many questions remain.

One is, what happens to enrich nuclear material still in Iran's possession?

The U.S. insists Iran gives it all up, although Iran is not mentioned whether it has agreed

Hegeseth insisted one way or another, any nuclear material Iran, quote, should not have, will be removed. They'll give it to us voluntarily. We'll get it. We'll take it. We'll take it out.

Midnight Hammer, of course, referring to the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June. There's also the critical issue of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's major point of leverage.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Cain indicated that the waterway was open,

while marine tracking data showed at least two tankers had passed through the strait this morning,

as Iran has said its military will coordinate all passage through the waterway during the ceasefire,

experts say it will take much longer than two weeks to clear the backlog of ships.

All right, coming up, despite the ceasefire, bombs are still falling in the Middle East.

That's next.

Let's not forget about what's been going on in Lebanon.

For weeks, Israel has been bombarding Hezbollah targets in Beirut and smaller villages

across the Israel-Lebanon border.

CNN's Nada Bashir is in Lebanon for us.

Nada, does the ceasefire apply to this part of the conflict?

Well, David, it's very clear that the ceasefire has not extended to Lebanon,

and we've seen that firsthand here in Beidot,
