The US military is set to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global oil supplies. Iran has warned that any foreign military force attempting to enter the strait will be attacked. Maj. Gen. Ali Abdollahi, commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, stated that Iran will protect the strait's security with full strength. The US Central Command said its support for the operation will include guided-missile destroyers, over 100 land and sea-based aircraft, and multi-domain unmanned platforms.
