[85288] Contradiction between White House statements and reports on tanker passage in the Strait of Hormuz


NBC reports refute claims by President Trump and Vice President Vance regarding the passage of oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.

Diplomatic tension: Contradiction between administration statements and reality on the ground

Embarrassment in Washington following an NBC report, according to which the reality in the Strait of Hormuz is completely different from the administration's descriptions. According to the report, contrary to the statements of President Trump and Vice President Vance, not a single oil tanker crossed the strait during the last day.

The report, which was circulated in several news channels including Nitzan Shapira on Telegram, News Arena and Kol Yisrael News - Security Reports, raises questions regarding the level of accuracy in the information conveyed by the highest echelons of the White House. The issue also resonated in Assaf Rosenzweig's World News, where it was emphasized that this is a frontal contradiction to the official claims of the leadership duo.

As of this hour, no official response has been received from the administration regarding the data gap. The reporting sources, which are identified with general and security news coverage, did not elaborate beyond mentioning the NBC network report, which serves as the primary source for information casting doubt on the US administration's narrative.
