.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “In the Indian Ocean—an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship, that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo—Quiet Death. The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War 2. Like in that war—back when we were still the War Department—we are fighting to win."

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “We were in a cabinet meeting just a couple of days ago, and the president said—hey, it will be a great deal—and if Iran doesn’t want to make a great deal that ensures they don’t get a nuclear weapon—they can deal with the guy on my left. That was the only time I’ve ever been accused of being on the left.”

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “The single dumbest phrase in military history was peddled in our Army only a few short years ago. You’ve all heard it — maybe in your first two years at West Point — ‘Our diversity is our strength’... Diversity is NOT our strength. UNITY is our strength... Our strength is our shared purpose. Our strength is our oath to the Constitution. Our embrace of Army Values. The idea of merit. Our mission. Our absolute commitment to Duty, Honor, Country. These are the things that unify us. ‘Send me’ becomes ‘Send us’ because you are ONE fighting force, just as we are ONE NATION UNDER GOD.”

U.S. forces operating in the Arabian Sea enforced naval blockade measures against an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel attempting to sail toward an Iranian port, April 19. Guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance (DDG 111) intercepted M/V Touska as it transited the north Arabian Sea at 17 knots enroute to Bandar Abbas, Iran. American forces issued multiple warnings and informed the Iranian-flagged vessel it was in violation of the U.S. blockade. After Touska’s crew failed to comply with repeated warnings over a six-hour period, Spruance directed the vessel to evacuate its engine room. Spruance disabled Touska’s propulsion by firing several rounds from the destroyer’s 5-inch MK 45 Gun into Touska’s engine room. U.S. Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit later boarded the non-compliant vessel, which remains in U.S. custody. American forces acted in a deliberate, professional, and proportional manner to ensure compliance. Since the blockade’s commencement, U.S. forces have directed 25 commercial vessels to turn around or return to an Iranian port.

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “You created the conditions to ensure that the American people — and the entire world — are safeguarded from this GENERATIONAL THREAT... We didn’t do the same old thing the way we’ve done it in the past... Instead, you said we’re going to do this smart. We’re going to do it OVERWHELMINGLY. We’re going to use maximum lethality — and we’re going to bring them to their knees.”
