U.S. Navy Deploys Destroyers to Gulf Amid Iranian Blockade, Merchant Ships Cross Hormuz

The U.S. military has deployed two Navy guided-missile destroyers to the Gulf to counter an Iranian blockade, while two American merchant ships successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz.

The deployment raises the risk of direct confrontation in a critical waterway that handles a significant portion of the world's seaborne oil and gas.
