The new Strait of Hormuz initiative will not necessarily include US Navy ships escorting commercial ships, according to two US officials cited by Axios' Ravid; US Navy ships will be "in the vicinity"

One of the officials said US Navy ships will be "in the vicinity" in case they need to prevent Iran's military from attacking commercial ships moving through the strait. The officials said the US navy is going to provide commercial ships with information on the best maritime lanes in the strait especially when it comes to using lanes that were not mined by the Iranian military
