Trump says 'Project Freedom' on Hormuz to be paused in push for Iran deal

US President Trump announced a temporary pause of 'Project Freedom' operation in the Strait of Hormuz to pursue a comprehensive agreement with Iran. Recent US military actions have secured a path for commercial ships through the waterway, while the Hormuz Strait remains largely blocked. The situation remains tense, with the potential for shifts in geopolitical dynamics depending on the outcome of future negotiations with Iran.
