🚨 JUST NOW: The United States is closer to resuming "MAJOR COMBAT OPERATIONS" against Iran after the regime fired on US ships and attacked the UAE, per Fox

"They'll be blown off the face of the earth!" if they attack US ships carrying out Project Freedom — President Trump

Iran is just asking to be FINISHED OFF at this point!

This is because the Strait was the LAST thing Iran had and Trump just took it from them 🇺🇸

🚨 WTF?! The Hussein Obama-linked DC Judge Zia Faruqui isn't JUST apologizing to would-be Trump assassin Cole Allen...

...he's demanding UPDATES on Allen's housing conditions, to make sure he's comfortable!

Remove this disgrace from the bench!

JEANINE PIRRO: "Welcome to Washington DC where Faruqui believes a defendant armed to the teeth and attempting to assassinate the president is entitled to preferential treatment in his confinement compared to every other defendant."

Perfectly said.

🚨 BOOM: DONALD TRUMP HAS FIREPOWER ON STANDBY TO BLOW UP IRAN

The US military has officially reloaded to a HIGHER level than even when Operation Epic Fury began 🔥

"CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper described the extensive U.S. firepower protecting the operation that does include 15,000 U.S. service members."

"I spoke yesterday with President Trump who told me if Iran attacks U.S. vessels, they'll be blown off the face of the earth. The president went on to say we have more weapons and ammunition at a much higher grade than we had before."

"We have the best equipment. We have stuff all over the world. We have these bases all over the world."

"They're all stocked up with equipment. We can use all of that stuff and we will if we need it."

"We do know early Monday, two vessels were successfully escorted through the Strait, but since then Iran has ramped up attacks on the UAE, a U.S. ally in the Gulf."

"15 missiles and four drones targeted the country with damage caused to a key oil facility. The bottom line here, the Iranians are continuing their attacks in the region as the United States is preparing for the possibility of a return to combat operations." — @TreyYingst

🔥 MARCO RUBIO is becoming press secretary for the day!

He's about to wrangle the fake news filling in for Karoline Leavitt!

One of Trump's best Cabinet picks 🇺🇸

🚨 NOW: SecWar Pete Hegseth reveals NO US FORCES will be entering Iranian waters or airspace, Project Freedom in the Strait of Hormuz is 100% "separate and distinct" from Operation Epic Fury

This is a masterful maneuver!

Now the Democrats can't invoke "War Powers" BS anymore 🔥

"We're not looking for a fight, but Iran also cannot be allowed to block innocent countries and their goods from an international waterway."

"Iran is the clear aggressor, harassing civilian vessels, threatening mariners from every nation indiscriminately, and weaponizing a critical choke point for its own financial benefits. At least trying to. For too long, Iran has been harassing ships, shooting at civilian tankers from all nations."

🚨 WOW! SecWar Pete Hegseth reveals HUNDREDS of ships from nations around the world are "lining up" for President Trump's Project Freedom in the Strait

It's working 🇺🇸

"We know the Iranians are EMBARRASSED by this fact. They said they control the Strait, they do not. So, American ships led the way, commercial and military, shouldering the initial risk from the front, as Americans always do."

"Two U.S. commercial ships, along with American destroyers, have already safely transited the straight, showing the lane is clear."

"And right now, hundreds more ships from nations around the world are lining up to transit. CENTCOM, along with partner nations, is in active communication with hundreds of ships, shipping companies and insurers. All of these ships from all around the world want to get out of the Iranian trap that they have been stuck inside."

🚨 JUST NOW: SecWar Pete Hegseth announces 6 Iranian ships TRIED and brutally FAILED to run through President Trump's blockade at the start of Project Freedom

"As a direct gift from the United States to the world, we have established a powerful RED, WHITE and BLUE DOME over the Strait." 🇺🇸

"In fact, 6 ships tried to run the blockade out of Iranian ports as project freedom commenced, and they were all turned around." 🔥

"American destroyers are on station supported by hundreds of fighter jets, helicopters, drones, and surveillance aircraft providing 24-7 overwatch for peaceful commercial vessels, except Iran's, of course, which is why our ironclad blockade remains in full effect as well."

🚨 JUST IN: SecWar Pete Hegseth announces the world needs to STOP freeloading off America in the Strait — President Trump will soon hand responsibility off to other countries

"This is a TEMPORARY mission for us. As I've said before, the world needs this waterway a lot MORE than we do."

"We're stabilizing the situation so commerce can flow again but we expect the world to STEP UP at the appropriate time and soon we will hand responsibility back to you!"

"To the incredible Americans executing this mission right now, simply thank you, your courage, your readiness, your unmatched professionalism and precision are why the world can breathe easier today and every day."

"You are and always will be the greatest fighting force in human history unmatched always. Project freedom is underway, commerce will be flowing and America is once again leading with strength clarity and purpose for the benefit of the entire world."

"Our will is unshakeable. God bless our troops and God bless the mighty United States Navy."

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🚨 NOW: Gen. Dan Caine CONFIRMS that Iran has attacked US forces "more than 10 TIMES" since the ceasefire was announced

Iran is also lashing out in panic mode at the UAE

"Iran has fired at commercial vessels 9 times and seized 2 container ships and they've attacked us forces more than 10 times — all below the threshold of restarting major combat operations at this point."

"As a result of Iran's indiscriminate attacks across the region, there are currently 22,500 mariners embarked on more than 1,550 commercial vessels trapped in the Arabian Gulf, unable to transit."

"In addition to shipping, Iran has continued to deliberately attack its neighbors. Just yesterday, Iran attacked Oman once and the UAE three times, including an attack on Fujairah oil terminal, which was successfully defeated."

"They also launched cruise missiles, drones, small boats at U.S. forces, defending commercial shipping in the straits."

"And United States Navy MH-60 helicopters and Army AH-64 Apache helicopters successfully defeated those threats. Thus far, today is quieter."

🚨 REPORTER: What do you say to people who claim Trump has no strategy?

SEC. HEGSETH: "American leadership is required, so the President was willing to undertake this, send commercial ships through, send destroyers in, provide this red, white and blue bubble of protection, and encourage the world to step up."

"In fact, what I think you see from Project Freedom is that we're NOT allowing ourselves to get distracted. This is a separate and distinct effort, temporary nature that we plan to hand over the world."

"The world has expressed a desire to be a part of this as is often the case or maybe almost always the case."

"Because ultimately, this waterway is, as I said, far more crucial to the rest of the world, and they need to have the ability to defend it. So I think this is a reflection of a laser focused strategy, actually, right here."

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: THE IRANIAN REGIME IS EMBARRASSED

Sec. Pete Hegseth: "We KNOW Iran is EMBARRASSED by the fact that our blockade is holding and we can run ships through. And we're going to help the world run ships through!" 🔥

"And if they hold it at issue, the whole world knows who's doing it. It's not us. We're willing to open it up."

"It's Iran. And that creates a dilemma for them. We hope they make a deal."

🚨 LMFAO! SecWar Pete Hegseth responds to reports Iran will deploy "kamikaze dolphins" against the US:

"I can't confirm or deny whether WE have kamikaze dolphins, but I can confirm they don't!"

🚨 NOW — REPORTER: Iran fired at us, we fired at Iran, is the ceasefire over?

SECWAR PETE HEGSETH: "No, the ceasefire is not over. Ultimately, this is a separate and distinct project, and we expected there would be some churn at the beginning, which happened."

"And we said we would defend it and defend aggressively, and we absolutely have."

"Iran knows that, and ultimately, the President is going to make a decision whether anything were to escalate into a violation of a ceasefire, but certainly we would urge Iran to be prudent in the actions that they take to keep that underneath this threshold."

"This is about the straits. This is about freedom and navigation. This is about international waterways. This is about free flow of commerce."

🚨 JUST IN: SecWar Pete Hegseth SWATS DOWN insufferable question from the fake news

Q: When did the President decide to capitulate on his demand for unconditional surrender?

HEGSETH: "You started out nicely, but you ended – exactly where we knew you would end!"

"The President hasn't capitulated on anything. He holds the cards."

"We maintain the upper hand and project freedom only strengthens that hand. And so he will ensure that whatever deal is made or whatever end state is reached creates ensuring that Iran never has a nuclear weapon, which is number one, and he's been focused on that and the deal and discussions are centered on that."

🚨 NOW: SecWar Pete Hegseth says it PERFECTLY on why Donald Trump had to do the right thing and strike Iran

"They were creating a conventional umbrella of so many missiles and so many capabilities that no one would want to challenge them! Think of North Korea!"

"This is the North Korea strategy. We have so many conventional capabilities. You won't do something about it."

"And underneath that, we're going to develop more nuclear capabilities."

"So the will was still there. President Trump had the courage to say we have to dismantle and take on those conventional capabilities."

"While the dust, while the nuclear facilities are watched 24-7 and over watched, and we will ensure one way or another, hopefully around chooses a deal, that they give up those ambitions, give up those capabilities, and we're able to confirm that every step of the way."

"So that has been President Trump's focus on it. He set them back like no other president."

"He ripped up the terrible deal that would have given them a bomb. He took care of it in midnight hammer. We're watching it right now and ultimately feel good about the fact that the end state will ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon."

🚨 JUST NOW: SecWar Pete Hegseth reveals the Democrats CAN'T BLOCK President Trump under the War Powers Act if 47 wants to resume combat operations against Iran

"With the ceasefire, the clock stops, if it were to restart, that would be the president's decision. That option is always there."

"And Iran knows that. And that's why, you know, their choices in Project Freedom are important."

"The president retains the opportunity and the capabilities, more capabilities than we had at the start of this to restart major combat operations if necessary."

"If Iran is not willing to follow through on its side of the bargain or make a deal, then the War Department is postured, locked, loaded, and ready to go!"

"We hope it doesn't have to go in that direction, but Admiral Cooper and our forces are in a three point stance and ready to go."
