US War Secretary Claims Military Option Likely in Strait of Hormuz

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth has stated that the option of using military force in the Strait of Hormuz or any other location is not being dismissed. These remarks were published by Mehr News Agency, citing Al Jazeera.

Hegseth, whose military track record is described as not having notable achievements, made claims in the economic sphere, asserting that Iran cannot withstand pressure and its economy is experiencing a downward trend. He further alleged that Tehran is aware of U.S. control over the Strait of Hormuz and that an imposed blockade cannot be broken, despite oil continuing to flow through the strait.
