Iran live update: Trump says 'Project Freedom' in Strait of Hormuz paused

President Trump announced a temporary pause of 'Project Freedom,' the U.S. operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, to explore potential negotiations with Iran. This comes alongside the termination of 'Operation Epic Fury' and the introduction of a draft UN Security Council resolution to defend freedom of navigation in the waterway. While recent talks with Iran have shown progress, the outcome of the agreement remains uncertain.
