Tension in the Gulf: The US is preparing for an operation to protect shipping lanes in Hormuz

According to a report by Amichai Stein | The Diplomatic Channel, which specializes in political and security coverage, the US is expected to launch a naval operation in the Strait of Hormuz within a few hours. A source familiar with the details told i24NEWS that the goal of the operation is to provide a US defensive umbrella for ships seeking to leave the area.

Contrary to previous assessments regarding close tactical escort, the source clarified that there "will be no close escort by the US Navy" for the ships. Instead, the US presence will focus on providing remote protection for ships passing through the area.

The news was also published simultaneously on the 🚨Current Security News🚨 channel, which focuses on ongoing security reports, indicating high alertness in the defense establishment regarding the developing event in the strategic shipping lanes.
