"We have more weapons and ammunition at a much higher grade than we had before. We have the best equipment. We have stuff all over the world. We have these bases worldwide. They're all stocked up with equipment. We can use all of that stuff, and we will, if we need it."
"Over the last 12 hours, we've reached out to dozens of ships and shipping companies to encourage traffic flow through the [Strait of Hormuz], consistent with the president's intent to help guide ships safely through a narrow trade corridor."
The US military is promoting safe passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz amid rising tensions with Iran, which claims control over the area. President Trump has issued strong warnings against Iranian attacks on US vessels, emphasizing military readiness and capabilities. The US has initiated Project Freedom to assist merchant vessels, although shipping traffic remains largely halted. Admiral Brad Cooper noted that many vessels in the region belong to innocent countries. Iran continues to demonstrate its military capabilities, with incidents reported involving foreign vessels near the strait.
