Trump says "Great Progress" made towards agreement with Iran, pauses Project Freedom

President Trump announced that Project Freedom will be paused temporarily as significant progress is made toward a final agreement with Iran, while maintaining the U.S. blockade. The U.S. will suspend the military’s effort to help move ships through the Strait of Hormuz until the agreement can be finalized and signed. This pause aims to ensure the safety of vessels and mariners trapped in the Persian Gulf.
