30:27Now PlayingIn this critical update, Sal Mercogliano breaks down a major moment of friction between the Pentagon and Congress regarding the security of the Strait of Hormuz. Following a high-profile Congressional testimony, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and General Kaine face tough questions about the reality of "freedom of navigation" in a region where commercial traffic has effectively ground to a halt.
While the Pentagon asserts that the U.S. remains in control and has rendered the Iranian Navy combat ineffective, the data tells a different story. We look at the "disconnect" between military tactical success and the operational reality faced by mariners.
