US military 'preparing to board Iran-linked ships in just DAYS' marking huge escalation in Strait of Hormuz arm wrestle
The US military is preparing to board Iran-linked vessels in the coming days, escalating the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. The move is part of a new mission, dubbed Economic Fury, aimed at limiting Iran's imports and forcing the country to negotiate.
The US military is set to board Iran-linked vessels and oil tankers in the coming days, expanding the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz into a global crackdown. General Dan Caine announced the escalation, stating that the US will pursue any Iranian-flagged vessel or those providing material support to Iran. The mission, dubbed Economic Fury, will be executed with the help of US Indo-Pacific Command and enforced alongside the US Navy's blockade of Iranian ports. The US has already turned away 23 ships attempting to leave Iranian ports. Iran has responded by reasserting control over the Strait of Hormuz, attacking several ships that tried to pass through. The US blockade has continued, with President Trump remaining optimistic that it will force Iran to negotiate.
