TEHRAN (Defapress) - The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Austria wrote to the US Secretary of War on X: "It is no coincidence that Pete Hegseth suffered a severe defeat in the war against Iran, especially over control of the Strait of Hormuz."

The Iranian embassy added: "What is his main problem? He searched for the Strait of Hormuz in the wrong place, without knowing that it is in the Persian Gulf."

The Iranian delegation emphasized: "Our humble advice to him is to repeat the 'Persian Gulf' ten times every morning. It may not win him the next war, but at least he will appear in the right place."
