🚨 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."

🔥🔥🔥

🚨 JUST IN: SecWar Pete Hegseth FIRES BACK at the notion Netanyahu and Israel are dragging President Trump into any conflicts

REPORTER: Netanyahu and Israel's head of Mossad have stated their intent not to cease combat with the Iranians

HEGSETH: "Your question is based on the FALSE premise that somehow President Trump is being pulled in by Prime Minister Netanyahu to ANY of these actions."

"And that's where you're going. Just to be clear, President Trump has led at EVERY step of this based on his view of American interest in America first."

"And we're grateful that Israelis have been very capable partners at many steps of this. And they may have some objectives at that times that are slightly different than ours."

"But there's only ONE hand on the wheel ultimately directing this, whether it's project freedom or previously Operation Epic Fury and it's President Trump."

"So we're grateful for their input, their insights, the existential nature of the threat they face from an Iranian bomb, the capabilities that they can bring to that."

"But ultimately, the coordination will happen with the leadership of President Trump." 🇺🇸

🚨 BREAKING: Pressure is surging on the Florida House of Representatives to IMPEACH leftist Judge Tiffany Baker, who RELEASED a known s*x offender only to kill a 5-year-old girl, Missy Mogle

FOLLOW THROUGH!

Remove the judges, set the national standard! 🇺🇸

DESANTIS: "Man, can't we all agree you gotta do what it takes to protect the public?! That was NEGLICENCE! That was NEGLECT OF DUTY! I'm gonna say the truth. It doesn't prejudice ANYBODY, I don't think anybody disagrees with me."

"The judge RELEASED him and then this TRAGEDY happened. This was AVOIDABLE. This was PREVENTABLE."

"These are the types of convicts that need to be held accountable."

"I STAND BY everything I said 100%. I'd like to see accountability for how this BREAKDOWN happened. Because you have a 5-year-old girl who's DEAD who should STILL BE ALIVE."

@AGJamesUthmeier: "It’s been 385 days since Tallahassee Judge Tiffany Baker let a convicted sex offender walk out of the courtroom instead of into a prison cell, and he subsequently murdered 5-year-old Missy Mogle.

The Florida House still hasn’t impeached Judge Baker. There’s no excuse."
