US President Donald Trump announced that the US will 'guide' ships of several countries safely out of the Strait of Hormuz, calling it 'Project Freedom.' The process will begin on Monday, with the US aiming to free up ships that have been locked up in the strait due to the ongoing Iran war.
Trump stated that countries from around the world have asked the US to help, as these ships are from countries that are not involved in the war and are 'merely neutral and innocent bystanders.'
The US President emphasized that the ships will not be returning to the waterway until the area is safe for navigation, and warned that if anyone interferes with this 'Humanitarian process,' the US will deal with it 'forcefully.'
