2 US Merchant Vessels Have Crossed Through Strait of Hormuz: CENTCOM

U.S. military is supporting the transit of merchant vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, after Iran’s media claimed a U.S. ship was struck by missiles, which the U.S. denied. President Trump announced U.S. forces would guide stranded vessels and stated that negotiations with Iran were progressing positively. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway for global oil trade, making it a hotspot for geopolitical risk.
