The Mechanism for Implementing Trump's Plan in the Strait of Hormuz: What Will Happen?

SadaNews: American sources have revealed outlines of the mechanism for implementing the operation mentioned by U.S. President Donald Trump to "free the trapped ships" in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump wrote on the "Truth Social" platform that the United States would begin assisting ships trapped due to the war starting Monday morning, Middle Eastern time.

The U.S. President did not provide significant details about the plan, which he said would start to aid the ships and their crews that are still being held in the Strait of Hormuz and are suffering from shortages of food and other supplies.

Later, the U.S. military announced that it would begin supporting the operation with forces that include more than 100 aircraft in addition to thousands of soldiers.

However, according to the Axios news website, two American officials confirmed that the new Strait of Hormuz operation "would not necessarily involve U.S. Navy ships escorting commercial vessels."

One official stated that U.S. Navy ships would "be in the area" in anticipation of any emergency that might lead the Iranian military to attack commercial vessels crossing the strait.

In a related context, officials said that the U.S. Navy would provide commercial ships with information about the best routes in the Strait of Hormuz, especially those that the Iranian military has not mined.

While Trump claims this move is "humanitarian," it represents a clear American challenge to Iran's control over the strait.

According to Axios sources, an Iranian military response could lead to a significant confrontation or even escalation back to war after weeks of ceasefire.

Trump warned that any interference in the American operation "will have to be dealt with firmly."

The International Maritime Organization reported that hundreds of ships and up to 20,000 sailors have been unable to cross the Strait of Hormuz during the conflict.

The Trump administration is seeking assistance from other countries to form an international coalition to secure maritime traffic in the strait.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that the latest efforts would combine "diplomatic movement and military coordination."
