U.S. President Donald Trump stated that, "if necessary," the U.S. Navy could begin escorting ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, in an attempt to ensure navigation safety and continuity of energy supplies at one of the world's most sensitive points for maritime commerce.
In a message posted on the Truth Social network, Trump declared that "come what may, the U.S. will guarantee the free flow of energy to the world," adding that American economic and military power is "the greatest in the world" and that "further actions" may be announced.
The Strait of Hormuz, under strong influence and control capacity of Iran, links the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea in the Indian Ocean. It is a critical passage for the transport of crude oil and liquefied natural gas, and is frequently cited as the exit corridor for roughly one-fifth of global oil and LNG production.
Any escalation of tensions in that zone tends to increase navigation risk, raise insurance and transport costs, and generate immediate effects on energy markets.
