Hegseth is a b. Listed NEWSREADER for Christ sake. 🤔🤔🤔
Captain loves the sea.
It's the Gulf of Iran now.
TRUMP is the worst man since 1776.
As of MAY 2026,trump has not provided any evidence that the 2020 election was STOLEN.
Hope you're sitting down. I know, it's a bit of a shocker. 🚀

Sack that stupid one sided. Bint.😮
Does bbc know only that one captain?
God Bless Donald Trump
Those Epsteïn Fïles must be well worth Kïlling for.
Iran has done well because The USA & Israel had started this brutal war.
What an entirely avoidable, stupid and costly mess. It would be funny if it wasn't so catastrophic to the world. I wonder how the US military is feeling being led by such a cabal of feckless idiots. Day by day, Trumps America sinks ever deeper.
BBC is fake news. Anybody believes this left wing thras6 is Brainwashed. Trump and the US is dominating iran
Huh. If only an orange idiot had not started a war. Imagine what diplomacy from Obama might have got us 10 years on but for an orange moron.
Wat? Let’s send the remaining mullahs and their minions to go see their Supreme Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the gate of hell with all of their wishful virgins there. This should open the strait right away again.
Hahaha…while the EU block is on fire due to high costs of living and lack of energy security and uncontrolled mass immigration, the Europeans elites are still talking on how to put out the fire. Look at the American, they got the mullahs on the run and open up the strait. This’s why the EU block is lost block for years to come.
Go go up usa brent oil price 🤣😍
A gift to the world? Can you believe these morons!
Without the cooperation of NATO or EU the jackass insane and the old cunning Trump will be in hell ❤❤❤trouble
The only '''gift ''' that the American administration can truly give to the rest of the world, is to keep their bloody greedy noses out of other countries affairs for the next 200 years! Their domination of the entertainment media is a bloody disgrace, the sound of their bloody belligerent voices is a .grinding, petulant nuisance and their insistence on putting their grubby paws on all that has any real benefit to the general population of other countries, is an abomination! Canada's and Britain's public health schemes are a prime example! They precipitated this bloody shipping fiasco; don't they dare try to convince US they are doing US a favour by trying to worm their way out of this mess! TOSS POTS AND LOSERS ALL! THEY BE and will remain so until brickhead, his sons, along with every avaricious, ambitious, sycophantic follower are with us no more..
Trump says its not a war, but if it is, we already won…..we are blockading the Strait, but it is open, but 99% of ships aren't passing. The dementia is strong with this one
BP quarterly profit QUADRUPLED. Trump wants his personal kick-back.
The BBC synonymous with reliable reporting where this man's concerned impartial professional journalism 😂🤣😂
Go home let the war ends let every thing come back to normal. Its all started because of your stupidity and brilliant educated brain. Let peace survive in the world
This is an act of piracy by Iran. Straight Hormuz is not their territorial waters alone.
Good on USA & Trump for sorting out his rogue state.
Given the size of the US infantry contingent of the military force over there
it is obvious he never intended to progress beyond this point of market manipulation.
EVERYTHING Trumpstein says and does points to his personal investment portfolio doing the talking.
He is a traitor to all and especially those Iranis he lured into rebellion and just dropped.
Iran's in charge, don't kid yourself of anything else.
DIRECT GIFT? IS HE DOING LSD?
Rubio may have convinced himself this is a different war, but he hasn't fooled anyone else. Rubio is a sad, little puppet of Trump's, just like Hegseth and the rest of the dangerous clowns.
USA is true trouble maker of the world and main obstacle for peace – world should be United against their policy 😡
