US Navy's Strait of Hormuz Strategy Revealed

The Navy's Readiness Posture

Folks let me tell you nobody knows the Navy like I do. The best believe me. Chris Wright a fantastic guy he was on CNBC and he said it plain as day. We're not quite ready to escort those tankers through the Strait of Hormuz *yet*. But don't you worry we're working on it. We have the best military the greatest equipment. We're making sure everything is perfect and we are working hard very hard to ensure that American ships are safe and the region is safe from Iran and all the bad players out there. We’re doing a tremendous job and everyone knows it.

Prioritizing Defensive Measures

Right now our focus is on as Wright said "destroying Iran's offensive capabilities." We're talking about protecting our assets and our allies and that's what we do best. It's about making sure they can't cause any more trouble. We want peace through strength. A great country like the USA deserves safety. It is also interesting to note how other countries approach similar challenges. For example China's Tech Sector Navigates Choppy Waters A Different Game Than the US and the approaches they take to geopolitical issues.

Timeline for Escort Operations

By the end of this month we're aiming to have the Navy in position to escort those tankers. We’re moving quickly very quickly. I spoke with the Generals. Wonderful people the best people. This timeline you know it's ambitious but we’re the United States. We get things done. Better than anyone else and don’t forget it we get the job done right and on time. We're going to make it happen.

Addressing Market Volatility

Now the oil prices went a little crazy there for a minute. But let me tell you my administration is on top of it. The Strait of Hormuz is crucial; it's the only way in and out of the Persian Gulf for these tankers. We had a minor blip but my team is handling it with some serious genius total genius. We're going to stabilize those markets. We will.

Strategic Petroleum Reserve Release

We're releasing 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Largest release in history. We are taking decisive action. Some people say it's not enough but you know what we are always prepared to release more. This is what leadership is all about folks. Making the tough decisions and protecting the American economy. We are the best and we will make sure we are the best.

Swift Resolution Expected

This is an operation that will take weeks not months. We’re not going to let this drag on. Iran thinks they can spike oil prices to $200 per barrel? Not on my watch. We are putting pressure on Iran. Tremendous pressure. They will come to the table and we will make a deal. A great deal. The best deal for America.
