New Hormuz Strait initiative won’t necessarily involve US Navy ships — reports
The new Hormuz Strait initiative will not necessarily include US Navy ships escorting commercial ships, Axios reporter Barak Ravid says in a post on X, echoing reporting by The Wall Street Journal.
US Navy ships will be “in the vicinity” in the event they need to prevent Iran’s military from attacking commercial ships moving through the strait, Ravid says.
