To a point, he's right. When you look at the specifics of the military assets we've destroyed, what he's saying is correct, but that isn't a) exciting or b) ratings boosting, so....
 


“… but you know when I say about a civilization it really has changed it really has but think of it they’re allowed to say death to America death to this death to you know I say one statement they say ohhh such a big deal. Let me tell you that statement got them to the bargaining table and they haven’t left they haven’t left the bargaining table. I predict they come back and they give us everything we want and I fold my people I want everything. I don’t want 90%, I don’t want 95%, I told’em I want everything. They have no cards, Maria, Maria they have no cards. Their navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone. Totally gone. They have nothing. They have no ships. A hundred and fifty-eight ships are at the bottom of the sea. Good ones! New!”
 


“… we lost one aeroplane and we captured the two pilots. How ‘bout we saved two pilots [MB “unbelievable”] no other country has the capability of doing that. Usually when that happens countries wave goodbye, they say lots of luck cause your going deep into enemy you know we went seven hours into you know it was a seven hour flight to go in and get’em and it was one of the roughest areas, one of the most dangerous areas in theme world and we got both of’em.”
 


“You saw what we did with Venezuela it will be something like that but at a higher level”
 


“I could take out Iran in one day, I could take out en— in one hour their entire energy everything every one of their plants … I hate to do it because if I do it, it takes you 10 years to rebuild. They'll never be able to. And the other thing you take out are their bridges. I took out one just to show them. But they went public with a statement that wasn’t true they admitted it I said I’m gonna take out a bridge and I took out a bridge and that was the end of that. Now they they e really behaving quite well but in one half of a day they wouldn’t have one bridge standing, they wouldn’t have one electric generating plant standing and their back at the stone ages. I’d rather not do that but I do believe they’re gonna come to the table uh because nobody can be so stupid as to say we wanna have nuclear weapons and to have no cards”

Iran is FAR less reliant on desalination than its neighbors.

“…
Some countries rely on the technology more than others. Iran, for example, uses desalination for about 3% of its municipal fresh water. The country has access to groundwater and some surface water, including rivers, though these resources are being stretched thin by agriculture and extreme drought.

Other nations in the region, particularly the Gulf countries (Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Oman), have much more limited water resources and rely heavily on desalination. Across these six nations, all but the UAE get more than half their drinking water from desalination, and for Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait the figure is more than 90%.…”

Who are you getting these specifics and why are you believing them? I saw the body counts published in Vietnam. They lied then and this administration has an even worse record.
 
And again we see that nobody in the administration knows any of the most basic facts about the region. Like the fact that Iran is not in the Arabian desert.
 

What week was it that Trump was talking about going into the strait toll charging business with Iran?

And did Calla ever address this with his instance that Iran can't have/be given control of the strait? Or was this just some more "Trump speak" that we laymen can't understand.
