China & WorldU.S. to Begin Escorting Commercial Ships Through the Strait of Hormuz
The United States announced it will begin escorting commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. forces have already forced 48 Iranian ships to change course over the past 20 days.
US President Trump announced that the US military will begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz starting this Monday. The Strait of Hormuz is a globally important oil transportation passage, with approximately one-fifth of the world's oil being exported through here. Over the past twenty days, the US military has already forced 48 Iranian ships to change their routes or stop advancing. Currently, US domestic gasoline prices have already risen to an average of $4.45 per gallon. Trump also stated that the United States and Iran delegations are currently engaged in positive negotiations. Both sides are still exchanging peace proposals, but have not yet reached a formal agreement. This conflict has continued for nearly one month, and the international community is closely following its development.
