Former US President Barack Obama criticized President Donald Trump's war on Iran at a rally in Ohio on Saturday, questioning the administration's claims of "victory" and pointing to the wars' military and economic consequences. "Six months after they declared victory, because as I recall, they said, 'This is the best war ever, it's going great,' so seven months later, how is this war going? Obama asked. He cited attacks on US bases and allies, American deaths and hundreds of injuries, depleted missile stockpiles and Iran's "veto power over the Strait of Hormuz, through which oil flows on the world market. " "This is why the price of oil went up. No one disputes that. This is why the price of diesel has gone up. That's why the price of almost everything has gone up," Obama stated. He then directed his criticism at Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, mocking his focus on the appearance and masculinity of US soldiers.
