US President Donald Trump announced a project that will start on Monday to help stranded ships leave the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively closed, but offered few details.
In a social media post on Sunday, Trump said “neutral and innocent” countries have been affected by the Iran war and “we have told these Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business”.
“Project Freedom” would begin on Monday morning in the Middle East, Trump said, adding that his representatives are having discussions with Iran that could lead to something “very positive for all”.

Iran’s grip on the strait, imposed after the United States and Israel launched the war on February 28, has shaken global markets.
Trump spoke hours after Iran said it was reviewing the US response to its latest proposal to end the war but made clear these are not nuclear negotiations.

A cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz said it was attacked by multiple small craft, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre reported earlier on Sunday. It was the latest in at least two dozen attacks in and around the strait since the Iran war began.
