“I just think it's so foolish,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) after Coons said the U.S. is on the “verge of a strategic loss because we are now negotiating” with Iran over control of the Strait of Hormuz. "74 days in and you're talking about strategic loss? We have the ability to defeat a 47-year threat of a pursuit of a nuclear weapon,” Hegseth said. “We've had incredible battlefield successes, and you're talking about a strategic loss, posing disingenuous questions?” Coons rebutted that Americans are experiencing the strain of the strait's closure "at the gas pump, every single day," as the cost of gas continues to rise.
