Trump Says We Won the Iran War, Then Threatens NATO Countries if They Don't Come and Help. The Most Incompetent Administration in American History Just Started a War It Can't Finish. Trump declared victory over Iran days into the conflict, joined by Senator John Kennedy on Fox News and Pete Hegseth echoing the same claims. The administration announced Iran's military had been completely obliterated — except for their drones, missiles, and sea mines. Shortly after, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, began laying mines, drone-bombed ships, and set tankers on fire. Trump then demanded NATO allies send their navies to the Persian Gulf to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to pull the United States out of NATO if they refused. The problem: NATO's Article 5 is a defensive treaty. It obligates member nations to come to each other's defense when attacked by an outside aggressor — not when one member nation starts a war and begins losing it. NATO allies declined, and rightfully so under the treaty's own terms. Hawk walks through why reopening the Strait of Hormuz is beyond what even the most powerful military on earth can accomplish under current conditions — the mines alone make passage nearly impossible regardless of drone and missile threats. Trump and Hegseth were warned before the war that this exact scenario would unfold. They proceeded anyway. The conversation turns to executive branch incompetence on a historic scale, a comparison to Pearl Harbor and World War II leadership, and what it means that an administration this reckless now holds the keys to American military power. #DonaldTrump #Trump #PeteHegseth #Hegseth #JohnKennedy #Iran #NATO #StaitOfHormuz #ArticleFive #IranWar #MiddleEast #PersianGulf #USMilitary #ForeignPolicy #PoliticalSatire #hawk #hawkpodcasts #mdg650hawk #politics #comedy #humor #news #breakingnews #currentevents #democracy Timestamps 0:10 Trump and Kennedy declare the Iran war already won 0:24 The "obliterated" military still has drones, missiles and sea mines 0:46 Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz and begins mining 1:09 Trump demands NATO send navies to the Persian Gulf 1:51 Why Article 5 does not apply when you start the war 3:09 Trump demanding NATO help is proof the U.S. is losing 4:12 Hawk's position on the U.S. military and what it cannot do 5:12 Trump and Hegseth were warned this would happen before the war 7:16 The incompetence of the current executive branch 7:29 What if Trump and Hegseth had led the country on December 7, 1941 If you have the means and want to support Hawk you can become a Channel Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCcrmvbQbfwSZaTgBZPrjMQ/join SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK - Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk - Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com - Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct - Connect on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/mdg650hawk.bsky.social - Connect on Substack: https://mdg650hawk.substack.com - Connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hawkpodcasts - Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mdg650hawk - Connect on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/mdg650hawk ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO - Additional Content Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts - Listen to Hawk Podcasts On Your Favorite Platform: Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfy Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuL YouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts iHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdP Pandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTB
