American NBC reports, citing newly disclosed Pentagon data shared with U.S. officials, that in the early days of the war an Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) F-5E Tiger II fighter managed to strike U.S. Camp Buehring in Kuwait.
Read this carefully.
This is Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth today, speaking to reporters.
"We are not counting on Europe, but they need the Strait of Hormuz much more than we do. And might want to start doing less talking and having less fancy conferences in Europe and get in a boat. This is much more their fight than ours."
Get in a boat.
Let me tell you what is wrong with this.
Before the war started, the Strait of Hormuz was open.
Oil moved through it every day. American ships, European ships, Asian ships. One hundred tankers a day. Twenty percent of the world's oil. No blockade. No crisis. No emergency.
Then on February 28, the United States and Israel launched a war on Iran.
That was not Europe's decision. Europe did not ask for it. Europe did not vote for it. France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom publicly opposed it. Pope Leo the Fourteenth opposed it. The United Nations Secretary-General opposed it.
The United States started the war anyway.
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just told me over the phone he has unilaterally cancelled Witkoff and Kushner’s trip to Pakistan to meet with the Iranians.
"I've told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, 'Nope, you're not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing'."

Hegseth: "Europe needs the Strait of Hormuz more than we do. Get in a boat. This is their fight, not ours"
The US closed the Strait which was open before the war. So, it's now Europe's fight?
A staggering display of delusion. The Top US Commander arrogantly brags that US intelligence lives inside the enemy's mind and knows everything about Iran. Yet the Pentagon was completely blindsided when Tehran easily shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Total incompetence.
🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP: "We are right now producing more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russian COMBINED!"
"In about a year from now, we'll be doing about DOUBLE that level."
"We don't have an oil shortage. We have 'drill, baby drill.'"
