War Secretary Criticizes Iran Coverage as 'Unpatriotic'

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has newly released footage of U.S. forces striking Iranian naval targets. The Pentagon has foreshadowed a large-scale strike against Iran.

President Donald Trump stated there would be no further attacks, while criticizing allies like Israel for bombing Iran's gas fields. However, U.S. and Israeli sources have disputed claims that President Trump did not pre-approve the strikes.

Britain and France, stating they do not desire military tension, rejected President Trump's request to neutralize Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

The War Secretary's criticism of media outlets reporting on military operations related to Iran was raised alongside claims that the media wishes for President Trump's failure. In a press conference, the War Secretary criticized the media for downplaying progress, amplifying costs, and questioning every step, adding that such media attitudes are intended to make President Trump fail.

International oil prices surged as oil shipments in the Strait of Hormuz remained paralyzed due to military standoffs. With soaring oil prices and minimal economic output over the past six months, the Federal Reserve chairman stated the economic outlook is uncertain.
