A senior Trump administration official warned Iran ahead of a planned U.S. operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, urging Tehran not to interfere, according to a report.
The warning suggests the administration was trying to avoid a further escalation of the conflict, which has seen oil and gas prices spike.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared to confirm the report, from Axios, at a press conference on Tuesday, saying the U.S. “is communicating both overtly and quietly to the Iranians to allow this defensive operation to take place on behalf of the world.”
