The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced its support for a mission declared by Donald Trump to restore 'freedom of navigation' in the Strait of Hormuz. The operation begins today, with CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper stating on social media that the defensive mission is essential for regional security and the global economy. The US deployment includes guided missile destroyers, over a hundred air and sea-based combat aircraft, multi-domain unmanned platforms, and 15,000 troops.
Last week, the US State Department introduced a separate initiative called the 'Maritime Freedom Construct' to enhance coordination among international partners for ensuring maritime security in the Hormuz Strait. The CENTCOM announcement comes amid warnings from Iranian officials, who have said that any US intervention in the area would be considered a violation of the ceasefire.
The mission underscores heightened tensions in the region as Washington moves to secure vital shipping routes while Tehran signals strong opposition to foreign military involvement.
