The US protected ships from Iran in the Strait of Hormuz in the ‘80s. Could it again?

The briefing

As tensions rise in the Middle East, military experts are revisiting the "Tanker War" of the 1980s as a potential model for protecting international shipping. While the U.S. successfully escorted tankers in the past, modern threats from drones and small boats make a similar operation much more complex today. The U.S. Navy's current role remains focused on protecting American-flagged vessels rather than providing broad regional escorts.
