US President Donald Trump is set to receive a briefing on new military options for Iran on Thursday, according to sources. The meeting comes as tensions between the US and Iran remain high.
Meanwhile, oil prices have reached new highs due to concerns over potential military action against Iran. According to reports, the US is considering various options for responding to perceived threats from Tehran.
The US Navy has been working to secure safe passage for commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been closed since January 2020 following a series of attacks on oil tankers in the region. The closure has led to increased costs and delays for ships attempting to pass through the waterway.
A coalition of countries is reportedly being sought to help resolve the situation and ensure safe passage for commercial shipping. The US has expressed concerns over the safety of its vessels in the region, citing ongoing threats from Iran-backed militias.
The status of the Strait of Hormuz as a safe route for commercial shipping remains uncertain. Experts have warned that any military action against Iran could lead to further escalation and instability in the region.
In related news, oil prices continue to rise due to concerns over supply disruptions and potential conflicts in the Middle East.
