In a dramatic escalation of geopolitical tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed highly classified details of secret American military operations in the Strait of Hormuz, just as Iran prepares for the massive, multi-day state funeral of late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Speaking to CNBC, Trump detailed how U.S. Central Command (Centcom) forces systematically dismantled Iran's radar infrastructure and successfully executed 'shadow transits,' secretly escorting 22 commercial oil tankers out of the blockaded waterway in a single night with all lights and transmitters blacked out under 'Operation Project Freedom'.
Trump warned Tehran that the U.S. military is prepared to 'complete the job' and wipe out Iran's remaining missile systems if the fragile ceasefire is breached. This bombshell announcement comes as millions of mourners gather in Tehran, Qom, and Mashhad to pay respects to Khamenei—who was killed in joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on February 28, 2026—and amid reports that his successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, is skipping the funeral due to extreme security fears. With tense, indirect peace negotiations in Doha, Qatar, hanging by a thread over the unfreezing of billions in Iranian assets and Trump's demand that Iran purchase American agricultural grain, the region remains on a knife-edge.
