Thank you.

It's very significant.

And what happened was the U.S.

launched a freedom of navigation effort that President Trump calls Project Freedom, where the U.S.

is helping commercial ships exit the Persian Gulf.

It is meant to be a defensive operation.

And the goal is to get all of these ships that have been bottled up in this region out and on with their journeys.

President Trump said if Iran tries to interfere with this effort, the U.S.

will respond.

And that's exactly what we saw.

We saw Iran launch cruise ships.

cruise missiles, drones, even fast boat attacks at not just commercial ships, but also U.S.

Navy ships.

And so I would expect a strong response from the U.S.

The question is how big of a response that will be and whether it prompts retaliation from Iran.

That remains to be seen.

So far we've heard that the U.S.

cleared a path in recent weeks, meaning cleared mines using underwater robots, and developed this way out through the Strait of Hormuz.

It launched its effort to get ships out by using U.S.

flagships.
