On March 13, Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host, now advising on military matters, says the U.S. is unleashing its heaviest firepower yet against. I ran today while holding clear air and sea dominance. He insists the military has planned for every threat in the Strait of Hormuz, that key ore route carrying about one-fifth of the world's supply even, as shipping their grines nearly to a halt for Iranian strikes. Iran's forces have hit fuel tankers with explosive boats and projectiles, sparking fires and killing at least one crew member this week. That chaos is spiked oil prices to nearly $100 a barrel, the highest since Russia's 2022 Ukraine invasion. Pushing, U.S. gas averages up to $3 and 60 cents a gallon from $2.90 pre-war. The International Energy Agency tapped 400 million barrels from emergency reserves on Wednesday to steady prices, as experts warned, 7-point. 5% of global oil supply faces disruption.

Hegseth blames media hype for talk of a whining war, claiming the U.S. is methodically targeting Iran's missile production to cripple it completely. Tragedy struck with a U.S. K.C. 135 refueling plane crashing in Iraq, killing four of six crew members in friendly airspace, not for enemy. Fire.
