Donald Trump says 'Project Freedom is paused' as Strait of Hormuz US blockade goes on

Donald Trump announced a temporary pause of ‘Project Freedom’ while maintaining the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz remains a flashpoint following the ongoing US-Iran conflict, and the US is continuing the blockade to pressure negotiations while imposing economic sanctions on Iran. The US is also providing aid to stranded sailors in the Persian Gulf, urging Iran to negotiate and accept terms.
