According to Fox Tv, fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst has relayed highly assertive claims regarding military developments and maritime losses amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, citing statements describing the opposing side’s naval capabilities as effectively destroyed.
Speaking during a live report, Yingst referenced remarks asserting total dominance in the conflict. “Let me just tell you, we win no matter what. We’ve defeated their military,” he said, quoting the claims being made in the broader discussion of the escalating situation.
He further repeated assertions about the destruction of naval assets, stating, “They have no navy. 158 ships are underwater under sea,” highlighting figures that suggest extensive maritime losses.
The report continued with additional claims about specialized naval equipment, including mine warfare vessels. “All of their mine sweepers and all of their, they call them mine droppers. Can you imagine a country has 28 mine droppers?” he said, emphasizing the scale of alleged capability.
Yingst also relayed statements describing total operational defeat at sea. “With all of that being said, they’re all defeated, by the way. They’re all at the bottom of the sea,” he added, reflecting the intensity of the rhetoric being used in the context of the conflict narrative.
The comments come amid heightened tensions in the Gulf region, where maritime security and freedom of navigation remain central concerns for global trade and energy supply routes. The Strait of Hormuz in particular continues to be a focal point of strategic and military attention due to its importance in global oil transportation.
