On Monday, the British Royal Navy announced a third ship, the HMS Defender, would be dispatched to the region to help ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Iranian state media reports the Islamic republic has dispatched its "most advanced destroyer," the Sahand, to the Gulf of Aden to accompany Iranian ships around the Arabian Peninsula.
