'Project Freedom' to Use Missiles, 15k Personnel to Open Strait of Hormuz

The U.S. is implementing ‘Project Freedom,’ a military strategy to expand commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz in response to Iranian blockades. The mission involves deploying 15,000 service members and missile destroyers, and denies Iran’s claim of attacking a U.S. warship. This action is contributing to rising oil prices and increased gasoline costs in the United States, as the U.S. government aims to bolster maritime security and ensure energy security.
