“When I flew over the Strait, I saw dozens of commercial vessels transiting. All types – cargo, crude oil, liquid natural gas, or LNG. And I also saw our U.S. assets in the air and on the water, including a squadron of advanced sea drones that were on patrol supporting a defensive layer.
“Here’s what I did not see. I did not see the IRGC [the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] on the market at all.”
Cooper said they had patrolled the Strait for decades, causing trouble, harassing, and seizing vessels.
“But they don’t seem to be on the market because Iran’s navy is all at the underside of the sea,” Cooper said.
He explained that after they destroyed the navy, they cleared the acknowledged transport lanes of sea mines so that industrial ships might now safely move.
Cooper said they just hit a big milestone — serving to transfer 1.5 billion barrels of crude oil since summer time while stopping Iran from exporting any oil because of the “ironclad blockade on Iranian ports.”
Cooper also praised the trouble of all the troops and inspired them to “keep up the good work!”
Translation? Despite all the Islamic regime or media spin, that’s the truth of what they’ve achieved. Meanwhile, the Iranian economic system is in tatters, and they cannot even pay their own troops.
