U.S. Navy Owns the Strait
Trump announced “Project Freedom” Sunday evening — and by Monday morning, it was already proving itself.
CENTCOM deployed guided-missile destroyers, over 100 land and sea-based aircraft, F-15s, F-16s, F-35s, EA-18G Growler electronic warfare jets, AH-64 Apache and MH-60 Seahawk helicopters.
This was not all, they also include multi-domain unmanned platforms operating under the sea, on the sea, and from the air.
This is not a patrol. This is total spectrum dominance.
Iran fired back with drones, missiles, and speed boats. Every single threat was defeated.
Iran Running Out of Boats
CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper confirmed that Iran historically deploys between 20 and 40 small boats to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait.
Monday? They sent six. All were eliminated quickly by Apache helicopters armed with Hellfire missiles. Cooper called it “dramatic degradation.”
From 40 boats to 6 — that’s not a patrol. That’s a military in collapse.
Iran’s mosquito navy is getting swatted one boat at a time.
Trump warned Iran they would be “blown off the face of the earth” if they attacked U.S. ships. The mullahs tested that warning. They lost.
Degraded, Desperate, Defeated
Proverbs 16:18 — pride goes before destruction. The IRGC built its entire Gulf strategy on swarming tactics. Now they can’t even fill the swarm.
Cooper confirmed the U.S. has cleared an “effective pathway” through the strait, with two merchant vessels already transiting successfully.
Maersk confirmed one of its ships made it through with U.S. protection.
The Strait of Hormuz belongs to free nations — not theocrats.
Strength opens seas. 🇺🇸✈️🛡️ #AmericaFirst #ProjectFreedom #middleeastwars
