      I was wondering the same, the first time I heard about his ‘escort service’ was now through the stopping-of-it news.

        First of all, the US can’t reliably take down entire volleys of missiles and drones, even if our fancy anti missiles were not running out, that they cost millions each is here nor there. Second, the insurance companies for these big ships will cut their policies if they took the US up on this offer.

        It’s either a dumbass order by the president, and or a short term attempt to assuage the oil markets lower.

    Ha ha, yeah that’s why, progress in negotiations.

    It has nothing to do with the ships they tried escorting getting hit with missiles just two days back. 2 of them, then a 3rd South Korean flagged one not trying to cross with no one on it had a fire.

    Iran also hit infrastructure on the port of al-fujayrah, in the gulf of Oman, the go around the UAE has used to bypass the straits to a degree. Iran is now claiming control of the gulf of Oman as well.

    The president has no cards to play.

    I think it’s on this article: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/trump-says-us-help-ships-stranded-strait-hormuz-tanker-hit-by-projectiles-2026-05-04/

          I wish Wall Street would see the pattern and stop reacting to his pump and dump bullshit.
