🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The United States has abandoned the idea of escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, a proposal previously voiced by Trump.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Washington will first focus on weakening Iran and only later, “when it makes sense,” consider escorting ships through the strait.
As previously noted, the plan for the U.S. Navy to escort commercial vessels through Hormuz looked questionable from the start, since American warships would risk coming under a large-scale Iranian missile strike.
Instead, the U.S. Navy has now pulled its fleet farther away from Iran’s coast to reduce the risk of its ships being hit by Iranian missiles.
