Iran 'appreciates' acting Navy Secretary Cao for saying Iran ‘blew the hell out of’ US base in Bahrain

Acting U.S. Navy Secretary Hung Cao’s shocking admission that the Iranian military caused extensive damage to the Navy base in Bahrain, saying that Iran “blew the hell out of Bahrain,” did not go unnoticed by Iran’s foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi. In a social media post, early Friday morning, Araghchi expressed gratitude for the acting Navy secretary’s remarks, saying Iran appreciated Cao’s “candor,” gloating about the damage to the U.S. base by Iran’s “powerful armed forces.”
