Hegseth Threatens Total Destruction of Iranian Oil Tanker Fleet
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has warned Iran that further strikes on its oil tankers are possible, after Washington announced attacks on three Iranian vessels following incidents involving US warships.
Hegseth stated that if Iran shoots at US ships, they will destroy and sink the entire oil tanker fleet. He emphasized that Iran's oil tankers are defenceless, as the country lacks a navy or air force.
The Defence Secretary claimed that the US military can strike all of Iran's oil tankers with its planes, ships, and submarines.
