This is not what you're being told.
24 hours ago, Hegseth stood in the White House Cabinet room.
He said: "Never in history has a country been defeated as Iran has. We wiped it off the face of the earth."
THAT SAME DAY:
Iran launched its 80th wave of missile strikes against Israel and US bases.
Iran's IRGC announced ALL American military bases in the Middle East have been "ELIMINATED" and they are hunting the remaining US troops.
Iran released video claiming they shot down a US F-18 fighter jet near Chabahar.
CENTCOM denied both claims. But released no footage.
Iran announced the Strait of Hormuz will never be the same.
20+ ships have ALREADY paid the "Tehran Toll Booth" for safe passage.
Iran's parliament is drafting a LAW to make the Hormuz toll system permanent.
Iran then threatened to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait — the entrance to the Red Sea.
That's 12% of all global seaborne oil.
On top of the 20% that already flows through the Hormuz they now control.
Here's what nobody is telling you:
The US spent months bombing Iran.
Iran responded by becoming the landlord of the world's most important shipping lanes.
That's not a defeat. That's a business model.
