U.S. Launches “Project Freedom” In Strait Of Hormuz Standoff
3 weeks ago
The United States has launched “Project Freedom” to guide stranded commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, establishing a new security zone and warning of possible mines in the waterway.
Iran has responded by saying any foreign military presence in the strait will be targeted. The narrow shipping route handles roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil, making it a critical global energy chokepoint.
The move comes as ceasefire talks remain stalled and no peace agreement has been reached, with tensions continuing to disrupt maritime traffic and global energy markets.
