Iran War Claims Exposed as Fuel Prices Soar
US President Donald Trump has been making bold claims about winning the war in Iran, stating that the US has won the conflict 68 times. However, only one of these victories was confirmed in September, suggesting that the war is going poorly.
A retired US Naval Intelligence Officer, Travis Akers, expressed concern over the situation, saying that the 'worst-case scenario' for the Middle East was both straits being closed, which has become a reality under Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's leadership. The Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab Strait are critical waterways for global oil shipments.
The US warned citizens in several Middle Eastern countries to exercise 'heightened vigilance' due to the escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, with the potential for unforeseen escalation.
