The Strait of Hormuz is an Iranian ‘kill box,’ preventing the U.S. Navy from securing it right now and letting tankers pass through freely

The Strait of Hormuz is an Iranian ‘kill box,’ preventing the U.S. Navy from securing it and allowing tankers to pass freely. Since the U.S.–Israel war on Iran began two weeks ago, traffic has stalled as the IRGC attacks commercial vessels, keeping 20% of global oil supplies bottled up. The U.S. military has declined escort requests so far.
