Iran's military warned US forces to stay out of the Strait of Hormuz after President Donald Trump said the US would help free ships stranded in the Gulf. Trump's plan aims to aid ships and crews that have been 'locked up' in the vital waterway for over two months. US Central Command said it would support the effort with 15,000 military personnel and over 100 land and sea-based aircraft. A tanker reported being hit by unknown projectiles in the strait soon after Trump's comments. Iran has been blocking nearly all shipping from the Gulf apart from its own for over two months, sending energy prices soaring. The US imposed its own blockade of ships from Iranian ports last month.
