US War Secretary Leaves Military Options Open for Strait of Hormuz

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth has once again advanced baseless accusations against Iran, echoing previous claims. Speaking in a context where American public opinion is grappling with issues such as rising energy prices following a costly intervention and the subsequent insecurity in the vital Strait of Hormuz, Hegseth asserted that the United States has not ruled out military actions in the strategic waterway.

Hegseth, aiming to project an image of success from the expenditure of tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on the intervention in Iran, further alleged that increased economic pressure would harm the Iranian populace.
