US to Protect Ships in Strait of Hormuz 'When Feasible'

US Treasury Secretary Scott Besent stated that the US Navy, potentially with the assistance of an international coalition, will protect ships in the Strait of Hormuz when conditions allow.

Besent noted that protection would begin once the US manages to control the airspace in the region.

"My belief is that, once it becomes militarily feasible, the US Navy, perhaps together with an international coalition, will escort ships" passing through this critical sea lane, said Scott Besent.
