U.S. ‘not looking for a fight’ over Strait of Hormuz, Pete Hegseth says

The U.S. is conducting a military operation, ‘Project Freedom,’ in the Strait of Hormuz to protect commercial ships from Iran, but stated it does not seek a fight. This operation is defensive in nature, limited in scope, and temporary in duration, with a single mission: protecting commercial vessels from Iranian aggression. The U.S. will not need to enter Iranian waters or airspace, emphasizing its desire to avoid conflict.
