President Trump revealed that the US will launch an operation to assist ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as a 'humanitarian gesture.' The plan aims to help vessels and crews facing shortages due to Iran's blockade.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday the U.S. would start an effort on Monday morning to free ships stranded in the Strait ​of Hormuz as a "humanitarian gesture" to aid neutral countries in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Trump provided few details about the plan, which he said would aid ships and their crews that have been "locked up" in the strait and are running low on food and other supplies as Iran blocks access through the crucial waterway.
