Hegseth stated during a Pentagon briefing on Friday, March 13, 2026, that the U.S. military was prepared for all scenarios involving the Strait of Hormuz.

Did he forget to tell us how the US defenses fired on attacking boats or drones that hit the oil ships and just missed?

Or maybe they didn't have any forces actually in position and wasn't actually prepared at all?
