In a recent address from the Oval Office, US President Donald Trump declared that Iran's military infrastructure has been 'totally wiped out,' claiming the regime's leadership has been dismantled despite their public defiance. He emphasized the effectiveness of the US Navy's blockade, stating that Iran has no operational Navy or Air Force and that their defensive capabilities have been completely neutralized. Trump's comments coincide with rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian threats to commercial shipping have drawn sharp criticism from US military officials. General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, accused Iran of weaponizing global supply chains by obstructing a vital maritime route that accounts for approximately one-fifth of global oil consumption. In response to these threats, the US has initiated 'Project Freedom,' a defensive measure aimed at curbing Iranian interference in international shipping lanes.
