President Donald Trump has announced the suspension of 'Project Freedom', a mission intended to ensure the safe passage of ships through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. The move, disclosed on Truth Social, comes as Trump reports significant progress in peace negotiations with Iran.
While the blockade on the Strait remains, the suspension of Project Freedom aims to finalize ongoing talks with Iran. The initiative, which launched amid tensions, was aimed at alleviating disruptions in one of the world's crucial oil supply routes.
At a White House conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the successful conclusion of Operation Epic Fury, reinforcing the need for peaceful resolutions. He emphasized that, although defensive, Project Freedom stood ready to respond if triggered by further aggression.
