US launches Project Freedom to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, triggering clashes with Iranian forces
President Trump announced 'Project Freedom' on Sunday, a US military operation to guide commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz using guided-missile destroyers, over 100 aircraft, and 15,000 troops. On Monday, US forces destroyed six Iranian small boats after Iran fired on US warships, and Iranian missiles were intercepted for the first time since a ceasefire took effect roughly three weeks prior. A Maersk vessel successfully transited the strait under US protection, while a South Korean cargo ship reported a fire and explosion, and a UAE oil facility at Fujairah was attacked.
