Trump's 'Project Freedom' aims to help ships navigate the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has closed. He stated that neutral countries are affected and promised to guide their vessels safely. Discussions with Iran may lead to positive outcomes. The situation escalated after a cargo ship was attacked near the strait, marking a continuation of hostilities since the war began.
