Jerusalem Post reports on new US ‘tanker for tanker’ policy in Strait of Hormuz

The Jerusalem Post has reported that the United States has implemented a new policy dubbed 'tanker for tanker' in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the report, for the first time in recent weeks, US forces have launched direct retaliatory strikes against Iranian ships, rather than merely preventing them from violating the naval blockade. This move marks a shift in Washington's approach to maritime tensions in the region. Previously, US operations were primarily focused on preventing maritime violations, but these direct strikes signal a new level of confrontation in the strategic waters of the Persian Gulf.
