BlockBeats News, May 26th, according to The Wall Street Journal report, U.S. military officials revealed that the U.S. Navy has resumed assisting ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

These officials stated that a Greek-owned supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil received U.S. Navy guidance when passing through waters near the coast of Oman. The ship, which has been stranded in the Gulf region since early March, is currently en route to India to deliver its cargo. This escort operation marks the restart of Operation Sentinel.

The operation is a U.S. initiative aimed at guiding ships through this crucial shipping lane, which was previously suspended shortly after its launch about 36 hours later. Officials said the U.S. Navy plans to assist over a dozen ships, including supertankers and container ships, in crossing this waterway in the next few days.
