The Strait of Hormuz is still blocked. What’s the US military doing about it?

Following Iran's initial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. military is attempting to guide commercial ships through the waterway safely. This vital shipping lane has been almost entirely closed since early March, leaving over 1,500 commercial vessels and at least 20,000 sailors stranded in the Persian Gulf. President Donald Trump announced the U.S. would ‘restore freedom of navigation’ amid ongoing tensions with Iran.
