The US military is trying to disrupt Iran's illegal activities over the Strait of Hormuz as part of Operation "Freedom Project" naval operation.
Modern.az reports that US Secretary of Defense Pit Hegset said this.
"The US aims to protect shipping from Iranian aggression. The US will not need to enter Iranian airspace or waters to open the Strait of Hormuz. We are not looking for a fight. They simply said they controlled the strait."
