Fox News host Bret Baier has called BS on Donald Trump\u2019s big war brag. <\/p>\n

The president has repeatedly claimed that Iran\u2019s military capability has been ground to dust, that the U.S. Navy has control of the Strait of Hormuz, and that he is in a powerful negotiating position.<\/p>\n

\n

But with war now in its fifth month, Baier reported that things may not be as rosy as Trump has claimed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking on Special Report<\/i> on Wednesday, he explained that the flow of vital oil and gas supplies is still being constricted from the Persian Gulf. <\/p>\n

\u201cDespite President Trump claiming total control over the strait, traffic has slowed really to a trickle,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at this, before the conflict, more than 100 vessels a day were crossing. Monday, eight vessels crossed. Yesterday, 14.\u201d <\/p>\n

Roughly one-fifth of the world\u2019s oil and gas flows through the narrow strait, which was first closed after U.S. bombs fell on Iran in February. <\/p>\n

It has sparked a global energy crisis with ramifications around the world, including at the pump for everyday Americans. <\/p>\n

\u201cNow those are constraints, and that\u2019s changing the government\u2019s energy outlook,\u201d Baier continued. \u201cThe Energy Information Administration raised its forecast for the average price of a gallon of gasoline over the full year by 14 cents… it also raised its 2026 forecast for Brent Crude from $82 a barrel to $87 a barrel.\u201d <\/p>\n

The 56-year-old noted too that the closure will have knock-on effects running far into the future, as the stockpiles dwindle. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd there\u2019s another problem building as well. The International Energy Agency says global crude oil inventories fell by 2.2 million barrels a day in July. It expects a global supply deficit of 1.8 million barrels a day in the third quarter. That\u2019s more than double its previous estimate.\u201d<\/p>\n

There have been direct consequences for the U.S., too. In response to the crisis, the Trump administration released 172 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve to soften the impact of the shortage. <\/p>\n

Data from the Energy Department showed that as of Friday, the U.S. had 298.7 million barrels sitting in reserve. <\/p>\n

It means that the country\u2019s stockpile has sunk below 300 million barrels for the first time since the 1980s. <\/p>\n

That is despite Trump telling reporters on Tuesday, \u201cWe totally control the Strait of Hormuz. We have control over it. Nobody else. Only us. Our navy is unbelievable, and things are going great for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The president\u2019s words come following a report yesterday from the Military Times, which revealed several members of the crew aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is involved in the U.S. blockade and has been at sea for nine months, had attempted to jump overboard. <\/p>\n

Family members told the outlet about their loved ones\u2019 struggles, although the Navy has not released totals regarding the number of incidents of sailors trying to harm themselves. <\/p>\n
