Washington: On May 5 the United States launched a naval and air operation called 'Project Freedom' to escort commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz after accusing Iran of blocking and harassing shipping; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the mission as defensive, temporary and limited, and said US forces would avoid entering Iranian waters. This week, on May 6 President Donald Trump announced a temporary suspension of Project Freedom, saying requests from Pakistan and other countries and progress in talks with Iran justified pausing the operation; US officials said surveillance and naval monitoring would continue, and the defense secretary stated maritime incidents were being treated as isolated while diplomacy proceeds.
