US EditionTrump says the US will ‘guide’ stranded ships from the Strait of Hormuz, starting on Monday
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced 'Project Freedom,' a humanitarian operation beginning Monday morning to escort neutral commercial ships safely out of the Iran-controlled Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran has effectively closed the strait since the war began on February 28, stranding hundreds of vessels and some 20,000 seafarers running critically low on food and essential supplies.
- Trump described the effort as a 'humanitarian gesture' for innocent bystanders, warning that any interference 'will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully.'
- While the U.S. reviews Iran's 14-point peace proposal, Tehran's deputy parliament speaker stated on Sunday the country 'will not back down' from its grip on the strategic waterway.
- U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reported the naval blockade has generated less than $1.3 million in tolls, potentially forcing Iran to shut in oil wells as storage fills.
