This guy does an excellent job of collecting credible news reports as they happen (so far, it looks like Operation Freedom will not include escorting any ships...chiefly information sharing about safest lanes to use).

UPDATE: Centcom announcement after President Trump’s post, seems more specific about use of active US military force to open the Strait.

BREAKING: Head of Iran's Parliament NSC Ebrahim Azizi:

" WARNING

Any American interference in the new maritime regime of the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the ceasefire.

The Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf would not be managed by Trump's delusional posts!

No one would believe Blame Game scenarios!"

A growing stream of reports suggests Islamic Republic officials are relocating to safe houses amid fears of possible military strikes.


No way we and/or Israel are tracking their movements in preparation to take them out, so they should be perfectly safe.

Anyone who still believes that the IRGC is a serious force needs to have their head examined.

The Grand Isle flotilla could take this “navy” on and win.

How is Iran blocking the Strait with these tiny boats? Shouldn't drones and helicopters destroy these boats with ease?

Anything on the coast, can be knocked out with strikes. Could it not?

They have generated enough fear that the owners and insurance companies don't want to risk running the strait.

Tomorrow will be interesting and the USN will probably divest the IRGC of any notions that they have of interfering with maritime traffic.
