March 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy is currently focused on the Iran conflict and it will escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz "as soon as it can," U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Fox News' "Ingraham Angle" program on Wednesday.
"No, not yet ... We'll do that as soon as we can. Right now, our Navy, and of course, our military, is focused on other things, which is disarming this Iranian regime," Wright said, when asked if any commercial vessels had requested U.S. Navy assistance in the Gulf.
