Bessent says ‘international coalition’ could escort tankers through Strait of Hormuz  The Hill

LONDON, March 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy, perhaps with an international coalition, will escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz when it is militarily possible, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Sky News in an interview on Thursday. "My belief, that as soon as it is militarily possible, the US Navy, perhaps with an international coalition, will be escorting vessels through," Bessent said.

By Parisa Hafezi and Maya Gebeily DUBAI/BEIRUT, March 12 (Reuters) - Iran will fight on and keep the Strait of Hormuz shut as leverage against the United States and Israel, new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said on Thursday in defiant first comments attributed to him since he succeeded his slain father. Hours later, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used his first press conference since the start of the war to make his own strong statement, issuing a veiled threat to kill Khamenei and defending the military assault on Iran.

March 12 (Reuters) - Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Jeddah on Tuesday, where the two leaders discussed regional developments, the prime minister's office said. The meeting comes as the Middle East grapples with escalating conflict, including tensions involving Israel, the United States and Iran.

Iran says it will not close Strait of Hormuz Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, said Iran does not plan to shut the Strait of Hormuz, though he stressed Tehran’s right to safeguard the strategic waterway. Speaking to reporters at the UN, Iravani addressed remarks by Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who said earlier that the “lever of blocking the Strait of Hormuz must continue to be used”. “We are not going to close the Strait of Hormuz,” Iravani said. “But it is our inherent right to preserve the peace and security in this waterway.” In prepared remarks, he added that Iran remains committed to international maritime law. Iravani blamed the current tensions in the Gulf on US actions, saying instability in the region stems from “the destabilising actions of the United States in launching aggression against Iran and undermining regional security”.
