Last month, the US military helped coordinate the passage of more than 100 commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, The New York Times (NYT) wrote, citing sources.
According to the report, passage through this waterway remains dangerous for ships against the backdrop of stalled US-Iran reconciliation talks.
Earlier, The New York Times reported that US Central Command (CENTCOM) helped 70 ships pass through the strait. Most of them turned off their transponders.
The United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28. Major Iranian cities, including Tehran, were hit. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a retaliatory operation, targeting sites in Israel. US military bases in Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were also hit. Tehran decided to close the Strait of Hormuz to ships bound for the United States, Israel and countries that supported the aggression against Iran.
