US Navy and Royal Navy Respond to Incident Involving Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Strait of Hormuz

On Sunday, three Iranian Revolutionary Guard vessels approached a merchant ship in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the U.S. Navy and Royal Navy to dispatch two ships to the scene. The situation deescalated when the merchant vessel confirmed the fast-attack craft had departed. The incident comes at a time of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, and the Navy will continue to patrol the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the safety of commercial vessels.
