"Never before has a modern, capable military, which Iran used to have, been so quickly destroyed and made combat ineffective — devastated. We said it would not be a fair fight, and it has not been," says Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Operation Epic Fury. "Iran has no... air defenses. Iran has no air force. Iran has no navy. Their missiles, their missile launchers and drones are being destroyed or shot out of the sky. Their missile volume is down 90%... and as the world is seeing, they are exercising sheer desperation in the Straits of Hormuz."show more

@PressSec @SecWar Condolences to Hussein Obama… who’s still in mourning and hasn’t released a statement ☪️

@WhiteHouse @SecWar Iran has an impenetrable country. They have vast networks of missiles and drones. You martyred their leader. Galvanized the people against America and Israel. Gulf states are turning after America failed to protect them and you think you’re winning? You’re getting humiliated.

@SecWar 💀🥴💀

Oh no! It's GI-Pete yet again doing his worst Bond-villain impression. Man comes in with his tight little suit bought in the kids' department, and deliver fire and brimstone from the pulpit. A bible-thumping war-criminal at that. Thinks the little charade will have Iranians quaking in their boots - has no idea what he speaks of.

@SecWar So, where are all these missiles that are hitting US bases and civilian populations coming from?

@SecWar

@SecWar If Iran has no navy, who is striking ships trying to get through the Strait of Hormuz?

@SecWar The Straits of Hormuz is the regime's last stand. That's all they have left to try to inflict damages on US by taking the whole world hostage & driving up oil prices. But not for long because soon US & Israel will wipe out all their offensive capabilities.

@SecWar Iran has lost.

@WhiteHouse @SecWar End the war!

@SecWar The radical Iranian regime was a paper lion, making lots of noise on the international stage, using proxies to do its bidding, but was weak militarily and internally. It will soon be a loathsome historical relic.

@WhiteHouse @SecWar

@WhiteHouse @SecWar Thank you President Trump. Iran had a long history of culture and civilization before the last 47 years. Iranians want to restore their country with Reza Pahlavi as their leader. #ThankYouTrump #ThankYouBiBi #KingRezaPahlavi

The five-second epistemology of the desperation. Sheer desperation in the Straits of Hormuz. The Defense Secretary said it. Desperation. The word desperation applied to the country controlling the Strait. The desperate country that controls twenty percent of the world’s oil. The desperate country whose exports are up thirty percent. The desperate country that Modi calls and Turkey asks permission from and Goldman revises toward and the Bank of England hikes because of. The desperation that controls the chokepoint. The desperation that sets the price. The desperation that the entire world is repricing around. The most powerful desperation in the history of desperation. Never before has a modern capable military been so quickly destroyed. Never before. The superlative applied to the destroying. The most destroyed ever. The fastest destroyed ever. And the Strait is closed. And Kharg is loading. And the Fifth Fleet headquarters got hit. And the KC-135 is in the dirt. And the Mark 45 missed multiple times. And the allies are running out of interceptors. The most destroyed military ever and the Strait that didn’t notice. Iran has no air defenses. Iran has no air force. Iran has no navy. The no that joins the no from the first week and the no from the second week. The no air defenses and the waves that keep launching. The no air force and the drones that keep flying. The no navy and the Strait that stays closed. The no that doesn’t produce the yes. The no navy and the no open Strait. Three nos and a closed. The nos on the briefing. The closed on the water. Missile volume down 90%. The 90% again. The same 90% from day five. The same 90% that preceded wave twenty-nine. The same 90% that preceded the most intense day of strikes. The 90% that keeps being 90% and the waves that keep coming after the 90%. The down that’s down and the launching that keeps launching and the down and the launching in the same briefing on the same Friday. It was not a fair fight. The Defense Secretary said it. Not fair. The fight that isn’t fair and the country that isn’t fair and the Strait that isn’t fair and none of it fair. The unfair fight that the unfair side is winning unfairly. The $30,000 drone against the $5 million interceptor. Not fair. The mine against the fleet. Not fair. The Strait against the briefing. Not fair. The desperation that controls the chokepoint against the devastation that can’t open it. Not fair. The five-second epistemology of the desperation. The desperation that the Defense Secretary sees and the control that the Strait sees and the desperation and the control being the same thing from different rooms. The desperate that controls. The devastated that can’t. The unfair fight that isn’t fair. The Strait that doesn’t read fair. The Strait that reads the water. The water that reads closed. Day fourteen. Desperate. Closed. Desperate. Still closed.

@SecWar Operation Epstein Furry is doing great at killing innocent civilians and having Americans die for Israel! 🇮🇱 Go Trumpo! go!

@SecWar Then why is the straight closed and Iran continues to pummel Israel? Your pathetic. Starting shit you can't finish.

@SecWar Cool... but why? Because I looked in St. Augustine's Just War Theory, and the War Powers Act, and I didn't see "The President has a feeling," listed as a lawful, moral reason to go to war.

@SecWar We're being lied to again.

@SecWar

@WhiteHouse @SecWar And you still havent won. Loosers. Oh and pedophile protectors

@SecWar "We're the best ever, I tell you, everything's going better that great!" - GI-Pete Hegseth, proud successor of Baghdad-Bob. Congrats!

@SecWar They seem to have unlimited amount of munitions...how if we have destroyed 90%?

@SecWar You killed him 👇,why?

iran has no air defenses but somehow still has enough capability to close the strait of hormuz, hit oil facilities in israel, and force france and italy to negotiate directly with tehran for passage rights. the "devastated" military is doing a lot of damage for something with no defenses

@WhiteHouse @SecWar This guy is stating to look ridiculous. Iran is controlling the momentum of this conflict now. It may have been initiated by the Epstein regime but they have lost escalation superiority.

@WhiteHouse @SecWar

A country that bombs elementary schools and uses wartime bombing scenes in video games for propaganda purposes has no future and no pride. America is becoming like the Nazis. The Nazis are gone. America, having lost its dignity, will soon perish. And Americans, it will be your turn to become unwelcome immigrants.

@PressSec @SecWar Give us a break with this pathetic lying

@SecWar Iran has no air force, no navy, no air defenses. If that’s actually true, this may be the fastest collapse of a modern military in decades. If it’s exaggerated, the world will find out soon enough.

@SecWar Then why are we still there, and why is Israel still getting pummeled? Operation Epic Fuckup is far from over, and I fear that we'll all be paying the price for this treason.

@SecWar You must be living in a different part of reality than us
