The White House is turning to rhetorical leaps as President Trump tries to put the biggest political crisis of his presidency behind him.
An exchange of fire threatened to shatter a fragile cease-fire as President Trump seeks to break Iran’s effective blockade of the waterway.
The conflict has morphed into a volatile standoff in the Strait of Hormuz, as the economic costs mount and President Trump faces a political backlash at home.
Navy destroyers are also shadowing several other vessels that left from an Iranian port before the U.S.-imposed blockade began, a U.S. military official said.

President Trump’s trade policies will make imports more expensive and calculating and paying the tariffs more complicated.

The Pentagon has refused to disclose how many targets have been hit in Yemen, or identify the Houthi militia commanders killed in the campaign.
