American warships just took decisive action against Iranian aggression.
Moments ago, U.S. Central Command announced that the guided-missile destroyers USS Frank E. Peterson and USS Michael Murphy have transited the Strait of Hormuz and are now operating in the Arabian Gulf. Their mission: sweep out deadly sea mines planted by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and carve out a new safe shipping corridor for the free flow of commerce.
“Today, we began the process of establishing a new passage and we will share this safe pathway with the maritime industry soon to encourage the free flow of commerce,” declared Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander.
This is no minor patrol. The Strait of Hormuz is the jugular of global oil transport — one-fifth of the world’s petroleum flows through it. For too long, the mullahs in Tehran have tried to choke it off with mines and threats, endangering the world economy and emboldening every rogue regime from Beijing to Moscow.
Iran’s mine-laying gamble is blowing up in their faces — literally. The U.S. is restoring order, securing energy supplies, and reminding the world that freedom of navigation isn’t optional.
