The regime is desperate.

During Monday night’s Hannity, Fox News host Sean Hannity reacted to the latest developments in the Middle East, including President Trump’s “Project Freedom” and confrontations in the Strait of Hormuz.

“Project Freedom is now underway, and Iran’s fractured leadership appears to now have a death wish,” Hannity said at the opening of Monday’s show. ”

Project Freedom is a U.S.-led military and security operation ordered by President Trump to secure the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding sea lanes during the Iran conflict.

“According to CENTCOM, U.S. forces are already repelling attacks from Iran, including [drone strikes and speed boats],” Hannity said. “We are witnessing extreme desperation from Iran’s hardline leaders, sending six speedboats against the U.S. Navy and launching missiles at an ally — pretty reckless actions from a fractured government running out of options and definitely running out of money.”

As Secretary Scott Bessent put it, “Iran’s leaders are now suffocating under this blockade.”
