US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the US will maintain its “ironclad” blockade of Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz during a press briefing at the Pentagon. The US played down the prospect of a return to active war with Iran after a day of clashes involving ships in the Strait of Hormuz and missile strikes against the United Arab Emirates.
Attacks by Tehran on vessels in the Persian Gulf and the UAE didn’t constitute a breach of a ceasefire, General Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at the Pentagon on Tuesday. Speaking alongside him, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the truce that began just under a month ago is still in place.

Operation: epic failure
Trump has referred to multiple things as a “war”, especially the war against drug cartels and the i”nvasion of illegals”; however, now that we actually have a war at hand, he doesn’t want to call it a war. I wonder why.
* “War on drugs” — Trump repeatedly called for intensifying the long-running U.S. anti-drug campaign, especially against opioids and fentanyl.
* “War on COVID” / “Invisible enemy” — During the COVID-19 pandemic, he framed the pandemic as a wartime struggle, often saying the U.S. was “at war with an invisible enemy.”
* “War on American energy” — Trump accused political opponents and environmental regulations of waging a “war” against oil, gas, and coal industries.
* “War on police” — He claimed that some activists, prosecutors, and Democratic officials were conducting a “war on police.”
* “War on Christmas” — Like many conservative politicians, Trump said secular culture and political correctness were attacking Christmas traditions.
* “War on religion” / “War on Christianity” — He argued that government actions and cultural trends threatened religious freedom and Christians in America.
* “War on the suburbs” — During the 2020 campaign, Trump claimed housing and zoning policies would destroy suburban communities.
* “War on women” — Although more commonly used against Republicans by Democrats, Trump sometimes turned the phrase back on opponents, arguing Democratic policies hurt women.
* “War on American workers” — He used this phrase in connection with trade deals, outsourcing, and immigration policy.
* “War on free speech” — Trump frequently described censorship by social media companies, universities, or government agencies as a war on free expression.
* “War on the Second Amendment” — He used this phrase to criticize gun-control proposals.
* “War on farmers” — Trump claimed environmental and trade policies harmed U.S. agriculture.
* “Economic war” against China — He described trade disputes and tariffs involving China in quasi-war terms.
* “War against the deep state” — Trump and allies often described bureaucratic resistance and investigations into his administration as a kind of internal political war.
* “War on American history” — He criticized efforts to remove monuments or reinterpret U.S. history through racial or social-justice lenses
“Project Freedom”. Corny and short lived.
