#USPlansMultinationalEscortForHormuz

Under the leadership of US President Donald Trump, a critical step is being taken to address the energy crisis created by the ongoing conflict with Iran: a multinational escort coalition is planned for the Strait of Hormuz.
Tanker traffic in this narrow waterway, through which approximately one-fifth of the world's oil trade passes, has largely come to a standstill. The sharp rise in oil prices and global supply shortages have prompted Washington to act. Trump has called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and other affected countries to send warships. According to an exclusive report by the Wall Street Journal, the White House will formally announce the coalition in the coming days.
The US Navy is ready to escort tankers "as soon as it is militarily possible." Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that the insurance mechanism has been completed. France is also preparing a similar support mission with European and Asian countries. However, the operation has not yet begun; experts emphasize that the risks are high and that traffic may only return to a limited extent.
This international effort aims to "remove the threat" from the strait. The restoration of Hormuz's safety stands out as the most concrete hope for easing both energy markets and the global economy.
