Norfolk-based USS Truxtun transits Strait of Hormuz, dodging Iranian onslaught

The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Truxtun transited the Strait of Hormuz, dodging Iranian attacks, while Iran launched missile and drone attacks against U.S. naval vessels and commercial ships. President Trump announced U.S. support for ships navigating the strait, escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The U.S. is enforcing a naval blockade on Iranian ports amid ongoing exchanges of proposals for a longer-term deal.
