Breaking Points
BREAKING: Trump Says CEASEFIRE OVER After Iran Hits 5 Ships In Hormuz
What was said
"Pete Hexath was on his way to Israel. Visit just got cancelled. Well, bit of a problem. Why does Visit get cancelled? You could read it two ways. One is they're mad at BB over his comments on Turkey, which we're about to talk about. One is we're about to go back to war, so he needs to be at the Pentagon."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth abruptly cancelled a planned visit to Israel as tensions with Iran escalate and Netanyahu publicly opposes US F-35 sales to Turkey. The cancellation follows Trump's declaration that the Iran ceasefire is over and comes as hawkish officials including Secretary Rubio travel with the president. The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve has dropped to 90 million barrels after releasing 6 million barrels last week.
