NEW | U.S. launches “Project Freedom” with no direct U.S. naval escorts - WSJ U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new initiative to “guide” commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, where vessels have been stranded due to the ongoing U.S.-Iran war, presenting the move as a “humanitarian” effort. The plan, set to begin immediately, involves coordinating with governments, insurers, and shipping groups to move vessels through the waterway, which carries a significant share of global oil supplies. It does not initially include direct U.S. naval escorts, though Trump warned that any interference would be met “forcefully.”
