MESSAGE TO THE IRANIAN REGIME. WHO IS ACTUALLY IN CONTROL OF. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THESE IMAGES WERE RELEASED JUST. A DAY AFTER A SENIOR IRANIAN. OFFICIAL IN STATE MEDIA. INDICATED THE IRANIANS ARE. CONTROLLING THE STRAIT. THE IRGC IS STILL ATTACKING. VESSELS IN THIS PART OF THE. WORLD. THAT'S A FACT AND HAPPENING. EVERY DAY. BUT BEHIND THE SCENES THE UNITED. STATES IS STILL ESCORTING. MILLIONS OF BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL. OUT OF THE PERSIAN GULF. ALLEVIATING SOME OF THE PRESSURE. ON THE GLOBAL EMERGENCY MARKETS. AND AGAIN SHOWING THE IRANIANS. THE U.S. CAN MAINTAIN THE.

ONGOING BLOCKADE AND PREPARE FOR. THE POSSIBILITY OF MAJOR COMBAT. OPERATIONS IN THE FUTURE. >> Harris: THANK YOU FOR THOSE. DETAILS. THESE IMAGES ARE REALLY AMAZING. TO GET THAT POINT.
