In remarks relayed by Clash Report, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said Iran wants to play games with the Strait of Hormuz, that Iran does not control it and the United States does, that Iran has literally gotten nothing through, and that the US blockade has been ironclad with almost pre-war levels running through the strait every night. The post is a single account's relay of Hegseth's words and no official transcript was read.
