US 'Project Freedom': Escorting Ships Through Strait of Hormuz
US President Trump announced 'Project Freedom,' a military-backed operation beginning Monday to escort stranded commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing US-Iran conflict. Iran warned that any US interference would violate the fragile ceasefire, while Trump simultaneously rejected Iran's 14-point peace proposal as unacceptable. The situation has significant implications for global oil supply, inflation, and Middle East stability.
