U.S. Navy to Accompany American Ships in Persian Gulf

U.S. Navy will begin accompanying American commercial ships as they travel the Strait of Hormuz, Fox News reported today. 


The IRGC Navy seized a Marshall-Islands flagged vessel traveling the Strait on Tuesday. U.S. officials said the U.S. and Marshall Islands are in contact over the incident.
