"US Navy Declines to Escort Ships Through Hormuz Strait, Citing Excessive Attack Risk"
US Navy Declines Escort Requests in Hormuz Strait
Despite President Trump's recent pledge that the United States would insure and escort vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters has revealed that the US Navy has been turning down frequent appeals from shipping companies for military protection since the conflict with Iran began. According to three anonymous sources within the shipping industry, the Navy has cited heightened risks of attacks as the reason for withholding escorts at this time.
Regular meetings between the Navy and representatives from the shipping and oil sectors have taken place, during which officials have reiterated their inability to offer escort services for now.
