"The US will start an effort on Monday morning to free ships stranded in the strait of Hormuz as a humanitarian gesture to aid neutral countries in the US-Israeli war against Iran."
"We have told these Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business."
"US Central Command said support would include guided-missile destroyers, more than 100 land- and sea-based aircraft and 15,000 service members."
"Iranian state media reported that Washington had conveyed its response to Iran's 14-point proposal via Pakistan, and that Tehran was now reviewing it."
A tanker was struck by unknown projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz shortly after Donald Trump announced US assistance for ships trapped in the waterway. The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency confirmed the crew's safety and advised vessels to proceed with caution. Trump stated that the US would help free stranded ships as a humanitarian gesture amid the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. The operation would involve significant military resources, although details on the execution remain unclear. Iran received a US response to its peace proposal, which is under review.
