During a discussion on Iran’s leadership going on the offensive with new threats after being attacked by the United States, MS NOW analyst David Rohde explained that Iran has a strategy and the strategy is working because Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon has been shown to be unprepared.
With US military officials conceding that they cannot protect oil tankers attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Rohde claimed the war-torn country, for the moment, has the upper hand.
“It's shocking to me what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz, how effective the Iranian military is,” he stated before conceding, “And I don't understand it.”
“We have a very large navy, and if we're going to go to war with Iran, we should be aggressive in sort of using our Nav,y” he elaborated. “And this is where, just in the last, I would say, 48 hours, I wouldn't say the war overall is somehow turning in Iran's favor, but it's definitely shifting. They've found their footing there.”
“They're stopping the most important route for energy to get to the rest of the world, 20 percent of the world's supply and it amazes me that the US military has no answer to that,” he observed.
