Hegseth unveils "Project Freedom": US establishes "red, white, and blue dome" over Strait of Hormuz

The US has established a ‘red, white, and blue dome’ over the Strait of Hormuz, signaling its determination to block Iranian maritime interference and ensure the free flow of international commerce. President Trump has directed US Central Command to counter Iranian pressure while warning that any attacks on US troops or commercial shipping will result in Iran facing ‘overwhelming and devastating American firepower.’ This move is separate from Operation Epic Fury, aiming for a peaceful operation but with immediate defensive readiness.
