US and British Navies Rescue Harassed Ship in Persian Gulf.

The US Navy and UK Royal Navy came to the aid of a merchant ship in the Strait of Hormuz after it was "harassed" by three fast-attack vessels with armed troops aboard from Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The incident comes after a series of maritime confrontations involving Iran following the US unilaterally withdrawing from Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers in 2018. The Strait of Hormuz sees one-fifth of the world's oil pass through it.
