Pakistan has asked the US to suspend Operation Project Freedom, which organizes ship transit through the Strait of Hormuz, following a ceasefire and in hopes of facilitating goods transport
The United States launched Operation Project Freedom to organize the transit of ships through the Strait of Hormuz on May 4, but on the following day, US President Donald Trump announced its temporary suspension
Donal Trumpt noted that the United States could resume Operation Project Freedom to organize the transit of ships through the Strait of Hormuz if there is no progress in negotiations with Iran
According to NBC News, this happened because the US failed to notify Riyadh of the initiative in advance
According to the source, Washington aims at justifying US President Donald Trump’s statement regarding the end of Operation Project Freedom, which was designed to facilitate the transit of ships through the Strait of Hormuz
According to the news outlet, the US leadership’s decision to suspend Operation Project Freedom in the Strait of Hormuz is linked to progress in the negotiations
According to the report, on May 3 the United States privately notified Iran of the launch of Operation Project Freedom in the Strait of Hormuz, aimed at ensuring the safe passage of ships through the waterway and reducing the risk of escalation
This operation is separate and distinct from Operation Epic Fury, Pete Hegseth said
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that approximately 15,000 US servicemen, guided-missile destroyers, and over 100 aircraft will participate in Operation Project Freedom to free ships blocked in the Strait of Hormuz due to the US-Iranian military conflict. President Donald Trump stated the operation would launch on Monday to help stranded ships leave the waters, warning that any interference would be dealt with forcefully.
