According to a report from the U.S. on the 4th, Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton from Massachusetts stated on the 3rd that Iran "is winning this war." Moulton indicated that the reality is that as the conflict continues, Iran is gradually gaining a strategic advantage over the United States. He noted that although the U.S. military has achieved some "tactical successes," Iran has not only restricted the use of the Strait of Hormuz but has also shot down two U.S. military aircraft in succession.

Moulton also refuted President Trump's claim that "Iran's entire air defense capability has been successfully destroyed," pointing out that just the day after Trump made this statement, Iran shot down not one, but two U.S. military aircraft. (CCTV reporter Xu Tao)
