Trump touts multinational naval push to reopen the Hormuz Strait

Trump says a coalition of countries will deploy warships with the United States to keep the Strait of Hormuz open after Iranian attacks disrupt shipping; the U.S. has sent the amphibious USS Tripoli with a Marine unit, and conducted a large strike on Kharg Island to target mine storage and missile facilities, signaling it will continue actions if Iran escalates—aiming to restore open shipping and stabilize oil markets, with possible follow-on operations against land-based missiles.
