Report: intensive flights by US forces over the Strait of Hormuz raise the cost of military deployment

Strait of Hormuz, Iran ·

According to a Euronews report, US forces are stepping up nighttime air sorties over the Strait of Hormuz to protect commercial ships from Iranian attacks, alongside a blockade of Iranian ports. The report says the operations are adding strain on aircraft and crews.

The Strait of Hormuz links the Arabian Gulf with the Arabian Sea, and a large share of the world's seaborne oil exports passes through it.
