"Thune stated, 'I think you gotta again look at what the president is doing, and right now he's trying to open up the Strait of Hormuz which I think we are all supportive of.'"
"'The military effort here has been extraordinarily successful. This is the sort of last, dying gasp of this regime, is to try to shut down the Strait,' Thune added."
"'Hopefully, it'll have the desired effect and we'll get the Strait open again. And that's sort of their last resort,' Thune remarked."
Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed support for President Trump's tough rhetoric towards Iran, interpreting it as a strategy to open the Strait of Hormuz. Thune emphasized the importance of isolating the Iranian regime and its economy, which relies heavily on energy. He praised the U.S. military's efforts in Operation Epic Fury, describing them as extraordinarily successful. Thune noted that the Iranian regime's attempts to shut down the Strait represent a desperate move, and he hopes for a successful resolution to the situation.
