Sec. Hegseth: Soon We Will Hand Over the Responsibility of Securing the Strait of Hormuz Back to the Rest of the World

EXCERPT:

HEGSETH: “To our partners, allies, and the rest of the world, this is a temporary mission for us. As I’ve said before, the world needs this waterway a lot more than we do. We’re stabilizing the situation so commerce can flow again, but we expect the world to step up. At the appropriate time and soon, we will hand responsibility back to you. To the incredible Americans executing this mission right now, simply thank you. Your courage, your readiness, your unmatched professionalism, and precision are why the world can breathe easier today and every day.”
