United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday that his country will retake control of the Middle Eastern straits.
"Over time, the US is going to retake control of the straits, and there will be freedom of navigation, whether it is through US escorts or multinational escorts," Bessent told Fox News in an interview.
The secretary's comments follow US President Donald Trump's announcement that Iran allowed 20 oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz as a "sign of respect." Bessent also stated that he is "not that much" worried about the Yemeni militant group Houthis joining the Iran war by launching missile attacks at Israel.
