Bessent defends Trump's blockade of Hormuz

 US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted a blunt warning to Iran's leadership on X on Friday, apparently comparing them to "rats in a sewer pipe" that are unaware of "what's going on in the outside world."

He went on to claim how the US has "complete control" of the Strait of Hormuz, that Iran faces a dollar shortage, that food and gasoline rationing was put in place, that the "entire international community" has turned against Tehran, concluding with "the BLOCKADE will continue, until there is pre-February 27 Freedom of Navigation."

His comments were apparently made in response to a Wall Street Journal article claiming that US tactics exposed holes in Iran's strategy. Meanwhile, CNN yesterday reported that Iran and its allies have damaged at least 16 US military installations across eight Middle Eastern countries.
