US Launches Operation In The Strait Of Hormuz

It will be called Project Freedom.

U.S. President Donald Trump said that Washington will begin escorting vessels blocked in the Strait of Hormuz from Monday morning Middle East time and "safely remove them from these restricted waters so they can freely and effectively continue their operations." The operation will be called Project Freedom, BBC reported.

In a post on the Truth Social network, the American president said that "countries from around the world" had asked the US "to help free their vessels stranded in the Strait of Hormuz." In response, Washington promised that it would escort ships from these countries and "safely remove them from these restricted waters so they can freely and effectively continue their operations."

The operation, called Project Freedom, will begin Monday morning Middle East time, the White House chief specified. He added that it is a humanitarian gesture on the part of the US and Middle Eastern countries, "but especially Iran."

Shortly after Trump's statement, a senior Iranian official said on social media that Tehran would consider any US attempt to intervene in the Strait of Hormuz as a violation of the ceasefire.

"Any American interference in the new maritime regime in the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the ceasefire," Ibrahim Azizi, head of the National Security Commission in Iran's parliament, wrote on Social Network X.

Washington's new initiative on the Strait of Hormuz will not necessarily involve U.S. Navy ships escorting merchant vessels, Axios correspondent Barak Ravid reported, citing two U.S. officials.

According to one of Ravid's interlocutors, U.S. Navy ships will be kept "close" in case it is necessary to prevent the Iranian military from attacking merchant ships passing through the strait. The sources also said the U.S. Navy would provide ships with information on the best routes in the strait, meaning routes not mined by the Iranian army.

The U.S. Central Command said 15,000 troops, missile destroyers and more than 100 aircraft would take part in Project Freedom.
