Top Trump administration officials admitted to lawmakers during classified briefings that they had not planned for the possibility of Iran closing the passage. Multiple Democrats emerged from those meetings expressing shock and outrage at the lack of planning and justification for launching the war.

Copilot, I can't open the link.    The Slack-Jaw poster BV posted it.

BOTTOM LINE (High‑Confidence Summary)

The claim cannot be confirmed or debunked from the provided link because the URL is invalid. However, no major outlet (AP, Reuters, NYT, WaPo, BBC, Al‑Monitor, Politico, CNN, Fox, WSJ) has reported that Trump officials “admitted” they had no plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz. That absence is meaningful — if top officials admitted something that explosive in classified briefings, multiple outlets would have corroborated it.

So, the claim is unverified, unsupported by independent reporting, and likely exaggerated or speculative unless the full article shows otherwise.

The link: …is truncated. Daily Beast URLs never contain “…” — that means the link was copied from a preview or shortened display. It is unsupported and cannot be treated as factual.   Ask Slack-Jaw poster BV to provide the original link.

This one?

The Pentagon and the National Security Council had completely underestimated how willing Iran would be to shut off the vital shipping lane between Iran and Oman, through which around one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes, multiple sources told CNN.

you people are **** morons

No...your dailybeast link ****. The compromised link.

Hey Copilot: are there any verified sources that this is even remotely true.

NO:

There are zero independently verified, on‑record sources confirming CNN’s claim. Every version of the claim traces back to CNN’s own anonymous sources, and every named official who responded has explicitly denied it.

No independent outlet has verified CNN’s claim

No reporting from:

• Reuters
• AP News
• Bloomberg
• WSJ
• DoD transcripts
• Congressional briefings
• Naval command statements

…has ever confirmed that the Pentagon or NSC “underestimated” Iran’s willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz.

 Bottom Line: 

There is no verified, independently sourced evidence that the Pentagon or NSC underestimated Iran. The claim exists only inside CNN’s anonymously sourced reporting and the outlets that republished it.

You are a **** RETARD jerra. A Certified, Bonafide, Verified, Validated, Authenticated, Legitimate Bone-Headed ignorant lefty loser. MAGA rules you and your little ****-up fantasy world.

In his post, Trump was particularly angry with The New York Times. His beef with the publication has been brewing for days. Times reporter Shawn McCreesh asked him directly on Tuesday during a White House press briefing who was responsible for the lethal missile strike.

“You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war,” McCreesh said to Trump.

“But you’re the only person in your government saying this,” he continued. “Even your Defense Secretary wouldn’t say that, when he was asked, standing over your shoulder, on your plane, on Saturday. Why are you the only person saying this?”

Trump replied, “I just don’t know enough about it. I think it’s something that I was told is under investigation.”
