U.S. Military Conducts Ongoing Operations to Secure Gulf Oil Shipments
The U.S. military has conducted near-daily missions from the USS George Washington and other assets to protect commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian missile and drone attacks. These operations have enabled over 3,000 vessels to transit safely in the past six months, helping Persian Gulf oil exports exceed prewar levels. However, the continuous pace of flights is straining aircraft, crews, and maintenance teams supporting this ongoing mission that began in February amid regional tensions.
