US-Iran Strait of Hormuz Standoff and 'Project Freedom'
US President Trump announced 'Project Freedom' to guide ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz amid the US-Israeli war on Iran. Iran's military and IRGC responded with threats to attack any US warships entering the strait, with Iranian media reporting missiles struck a US warship near Jask island. European leaders at the EPC summit in Yerevan are responding to Trump's expectations on NATO support for the operation.
