Discussion on Strait of Hormuz and US-Iran Relations

You were completely aware that the Strait of Hormuz could be closed,

and

obviously sinking their ships has not affected their

ability to effectively close the strait.

Did, did you en-... Go on

... in expeditionary ways in the past

We're talking about a war you started, not a situation in

which oil was flowing freely, there was no conflict,

we weren't losing, uh, personnel as a result of Iranian

actions. So, uh, your fallback to the Biden

administration is just a very, very, um,

obvious, u- uh, excuse for what I

think is probably, as you described so often,

gross negligence.

You did not fully inform the president that you would be in a

situation where the Strait of Hormuz could be effectively

closed, oil prices could surge, and

effectively the Iranians could maintain their

ability to strike back as they are right now.

They just killed some of our servicemen last
