US President Donald Trump said that the US will begin guiding some neutral vessels stranded in the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday (4 May), according to foreign media.

The move aims to rescue those individuals, companies and countries that have done absolutely nothing wrong. If this humanitarian effort is disrupted in any way, the US will have no choice but to take firm measures in response.

Assisting stranded vessels to exit the Strait of Hormuz does not currently involve US Navy escorts, but rather a coordination process among various countries, insurers and shipping organizations, The Wall Street Journal quoted US officials as saying.

Iran's latest peace proposal is difficult to find satisfactory, but US representatives are engaged in very positive discussions with Iran, which could potentially lead to very positive outcomes for all parties, Trump noted.
