SOUNDBITE (English) Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Navy's Mideast-based 5th Fleet: "We're on the guided missile destroyer, USS Paul Hamilton, DDG-60, conducting Strait of Hormuz outbound transit. So going from the Arabian Gulf out in an easterly direction toward the Gulf of Oman. Privileged to be joined by my French counterpart and UK counterpart. It is part of our increase in presence in the region, which was described by the White House last week, and that's now in execution." 7. Mid of sailor talking on a radio 8.

Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Navy's Mideast-based 5th Fleet: "Today, as you saw, we had interaction with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy and in this case, a couple of small vessels that got within about a thousand yards. This is not uncommon. We work here at sea every day and we interact with the Iranians every single day. The overwhelming majority of the time that interaction is safe and professional. Of course, when it's not, we'll call that out." 11. Aerials of tankers in the Strait of Hormuz 12. SOUNDBITE (English) Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Navy's Mideast-based 5th Fleet: "So Iran has seized or attacked 15 ships in the last two years. Eight seizures and seven attacks. So the shipping industry is mindful of what the security posture looks like in the region. We have the ability to positively impact that and influence it, and that's what we're doing now." 13.

Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Navy's Mideast-based 5th Fleet: "Well you saw it today, the volume of commerce that flows through the Strait of Hormuz. It is critical to the world's economy. And if I just zoom out for a second, obviously this region and its three strategic choke points have an enormous impact on the global economy. Our mission is to maintain the free flow of commerce and the way we do that is through maritime security. So assuring, reassuring presence and increasing that here in the Strait of Hormuz, where we've seen these seizures occur, is important." 16. Aerial of USS Paul Hamilton STORYLINE: The Mideast-based chiefs of the U.S., British and French navies transited the Strait of Hormuz on Friday aboard an American warship, a sign of their unified approach to keeping the crucial waterway open after Iran seized two oil tankers. The incredibly rare, joint trip by the three navy chiefs aboard the USS Paul Hamilton, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, saw three fast boats of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard approach the vessel at one point. An Associated Press journalist also accompanied the allied naval commanders.
