US Says Hormuz Strait Will Not Be Closed Again, Thanks to Naval Escorts

US Says Hormuz Strait Will Not Be Closed Again, Thanks to Naval Escorts

Energy Secretary Chris Wright says U.S. naval escorts have prevented Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz in the future, noting 17 million barrels passed through during the latest closure claim and thousands of ships moving under protection. The administration could reimpose a blockade if Iran doesn’t meet its demands; sanctions waivers for 60 days aren’t a major win for Tehran, and how Hormuz will be governed after that period remains unclear as talks with Oman and Gulf neighbors continue.

U.S. Fighter Jet Silences Two Iranian Blockade Tankers in Gulf of Oman

A U.S. Navy F/A-18 from the USS George H.W. Bush disabled two Iranian-flagged tankers, Sea Star III and Sevda, by striking their smokestacks as they attempted to pass through the Gulf of Oman in violation of the ongoing blockade of Iran’s ports. CENTCOM says the vessels were non-compliant and no longer transiting to Iran, following similar prior actions against Iranian-flagged ships; the operation is part of a broader maritime effort to enforce the blockade and protect commercial shipping in the region.

US Destroyers Defend Against Renewed Iranian Attacks in Hormuz

Three U.S. Navy destroyers (Truxtun, Mason and Rafael Peralta) faced missiles, drones and small-boat assaults in the Strait of Hormuz; the U.S. responded with self-defense strikes on Iranian facilities and mounted a layered defense with CIWS, 5-inch guns, small-arms fire and Apache Hellfire missiles, with overhead support—no casualties or damage reported as the confrontation underscores a tense, ongoing contest for control of the waterway amid a fragile ceasefire.

Global blockade escalates as U.S. seizes Iranian oil tankers, rattling China and Russia

The U.S.-led naval blockade of Iran in the Strait of Hormuz has intensified, with Marines boarding or seizing 39 vessels since mid-April, including oil tankers like Tifani and Majestic X, as officials describe the effort as growing and global and aimed at choking Iran’s energy exports. The moves are framed as deterrence with broad spillover effects, signaling pressure on Iran’s partners and sending shockwaves to China, which relies on sea-borne oil, and Russia, whose shadow fleet could face increased risk as global maritime pressure widens.

Trump weighs action over Iran stalemate as Hormuz gambit looms

President Trump, frustrated by the Iran stalemate, weighed a forceful plan to move naval ships through the Strait of Hormuz but chose a cautious opening. The U.S. will assist and monitor crossing ships under Project Freedom, with ships and missiles in reserve and no full escort mission yet, while diplomacy with Iran continues amid threats from Tehran and ongoing talks among U.S. envoys and Iran’s leadership.

Trump Praises Maritime Piracy in Iran War, Sparks Legal Debate

President Trump publicly boasted that U.S. forces have 'taken over' cargo and oil from seized ships, likening operations to piracy, as Washington enforces maritime blockades in the Iran conflict; legal scholars warn such blockades lack a solid basis under international law and risk violating the War Powers Act, while the war's near-term costs run from $25–$100 billion and could exceed $1 trillion long-term.
