US EditionIran threatens to attack US forces in Strait of Hormuz after Trump says military will help stranded ships
Iran warned any U.S. forces near the Strait of Hormuz would be attacked as Trump’s plan would use 15,000 personnel and more than 100 aircraft.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced 'Project Freedom,' a U.S. operation to guide commercial ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz amid Iran's blockade of the strategic waterway.
- Tensions remain high as Iran continues blocking the strait, choking global oil supplies and leaving thousands of seafarers stranded on oil vessels. Britain's maritime trade agency warned the security threat level remains critical after two ships were hit by projectiles in recent hours.
- With 15,000 personnel and over 100 land and sea-based aircraft, U.S. Central Command characterized the operation as a 'humanitarian gesture on behalf of the United States,' though Trump claimed it assists ships from nations 'not involved with' the Middle Eastern dispute.
- Iranian military officials asserted the strait's security rests with their armed forces, warning that any foreign armed force, 'especially the aggressive US army,' will be attacked if it attempts entry. Tehran views the operation as a ceasefire violation.
- While Trump revealed U.S. officials are engaged in 'very positive discussions' with Tehran, he simultaneously rejected Iran's latest conflict-resolution proposal as 'not acceptable,' as Iran pushes for a 30-day ceasefire window.
