U.S. Defense Secretary Claims Control Over Strait of Hormuz Amid Ongoing Conflict

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claims the U.S. has controlled the Strait of Hormuz throughout the conflict, citing increased naval escorts.
The closure of the strait has significantly impacted global shipping and contributed to rising fuel prices in the U.S.
A ceasefire deal between the U.S. and Iran is expected to be signed soon, but key objectives remain unaddressed.
