US military says over 1,000 ships aided through Strait of Hormuz

The US military has announced that the United States has assisted more than 1,000 ships in passing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to the New York Times.

This comes after US President Donald Trump stated that many ships transited the Strait of Hormuz last night.

President Trump also said oil prices would drop significantly after the Iran crisis ends, stressing that Iran must not be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon, as it would use it.
