US President Donald Trump said the US military will temporarily pause “Project Freedom” — the military-backed plan to guide commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz — signalling a potential easing of tensions with Iran.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that the US-Iran ceasefire is not over despite this week's attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The US effort to guide vessels out of the strait is temporary and separate, he said.
US President Donald Trump has announced that the US will begin guiding ships through the Strait of Hormuz, which remains largely blocked by Iran, starting Monday.
