The U.S. Notified Tehran in Advance About Operations in the Strait of Hormuz: Axios

The Axios portal, citing a senior U.S. official, reports that a representative from President Donald Trump's administration has informed Iran about the impending naval escort operations in the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran has been urged to refrain from interfering in the process.

According to the publication, the White House's goal was to mitigate potential risks of escalation. However, despite the warning, the Iranian side has initiated a series of attacks against U.S. naval vessels, commercial ships, and locations in the United Arab Emirates.
