Trump says US will ‘help free up’ ships stuck in Hormuz Strait

President Donald Trump announced that the United States will begin to 'free up' ships stuck in the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday, suggesting that his administration will end the Iranian blockade. This initiative, dubbed Project Freedom, is framed as a humanitarian gesture but risks undermining the fragile ceasefire in place. Trump warned Iran against interfering with the operation, noting that many ships are running low on food and essential supplies.
