Two US warships cross Strait of Hormuz for first time since war began
Two US Navy guided-missile destroyers passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday without incident, the Wall Street Journal reported, marking the first American naval transit since the war with Iran began on 28 February. The crossing was not coordinated with Tehran. Trump posted on social media that the US is 'clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favour to countries all over the world.'
