Trump has posted on his Truth Social page, saying that the US Navy will help escort ships that have been trapped within the strait out to safety.
He’s portraying this as a humanitarian effort. He says that many of these ships have no connection whatsoever with the ongoing conflict. He says that this is going to be labelled ‘Project Freedom’.
Very significantly as well, he says in his post that his representatives are having “very positive discussions” with Iran. Whether it is just about the issue of freeing up the ships that have been trapped in the Strait of Hormuz, or whether he’s referring to wider issues pertaining to resolving this conflict, that is not particularly clear in this post.
But what we do have is Trump suggesting that the US Navy will now help these ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, and also implying that there is some form of cooperation with Iran in this.
- Tehran will view any US attempt to interfere into maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz as a ceasefire violation, said Ebrahim Azizi, the head of the Iranian parliament’s national security committee.
"Any American interference in the new maritime regime of the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the ceasefire," he wrote on the X social network. "The Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf would not be managed by Trump's delusional posts!"
