[U.S. Navy Resumes Escorting Ships Through the Strait of Hormuz] BlockBeats News, May 26, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal, U.S. military officials revealed that the U.S. Navy has resumed assisting ships in transiting the Strait of Hormuz. These officials stated that a Greek-flagged supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil was escorted by the U.S. Navy while navigating waters near the coast of Oman. The vessel, which had been stranded in the Middle East Gulf region since early March, is currently en route to India to deliver its cargo. This escort operation marks the restart of the "Freedom Program," an initiative previously launched by the U.S. to guide ships through this critical shipping channel. However, the program was temporarily halted approximately 36 hours after its initial launch. Officials indicated that the U.S. Navy plans to assist around a dozen ships, including supertankers and container ships, in transiting these waters in the coming days.
