“President Trump said the U.S. Navy will start guiding ships from foreign countries through the Strait of Hormuz from Monday”
DISPUTED
The evidence contains direct contradictions. One source reports Trump announced the US will begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday, while another reports a blockade of Iranian ports starting Monday but explicitly states that US forces will NOT impede vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a 'step back' from Trump's earlier vow.
