US President Donald Trump announced that American forces will begin escorting ships trapped in the Strait of Hormuz. The US strategy will deploy guided-missile destroyers, over 100 aircraft, multi-domain unmanned platforms, and approximately 15,000 service personnel. Iran's military threatened to attack US forces if they enter the Strait of Hormuz, stating that the security of the waterway is in the hands of Iran's armed forces. Iran issued a 14-point proposal calling for issues to be settled with the US within 30 days. A bulk carrier was attacked 11 nautical miles west of Sirik, Iran, by multiple small craft, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps may have seized the ship. The US has at least two aircraft carriers in the region, with roughly 5,000 personnel on board each.
