The Iranian parliament's National Security Committee Chairman stated that U.S. interference in the Strait of Hormuz is a violation of the ceasefire agreement, strongly opposing Donald Trump’s ‘Project Freedom’ operation. President Trump announced the support of third-country ships for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, with senior U.S. officials clarifying that the Navy would not undertake escort missions. While framed as a humanitarian response, Iran views the operation as a breach of the ceasefire.
