He summarized:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>&#8220;The U.S. government says one thing, reality says another. As soon as U.S. officials claim Iran&#8217;s air defenses are overrun, an F-35 takes a hit. As soon as they announce Iran&#8217;s navy is eliminated, the USS Gerald Ford retreats, and the USS Abraham Lincoln turns away.
