5:58Now PlayingDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth sought to play down the quagmire in the Strait of Hormuz that is pushing up global energy prices, telling reporters on Friday, “We have been dealing with it; don’t need to worry about it.”
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Dan Caine said the military was prioritizing efforts to counter Iran’s capabilities to mine the crucial corridor, which typically facilitates about 20 percent of the global oil trade. Hegseth said the U.S. was not aware of any mines being laid so far.
