U.S. beginning effort to guide stranded ships through Strait of Hormuz

U.S. President Trump announced the start of efforts to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing tensions with Iran. The disruption of this waterway, through which roughly one-fifth of the world's oil passes, has impacted energy supplies to Europe and Asia and added volatility to global energy prices. Iran’s military warned that U.S. forces would be attacked if they attempt to enter the strait.
