The Unified Command of the Iranian Armed Forces issued a threat Monday morning to attack any foreign military presence approaching the Strait of Hormuz. This escalation coincides with the launch of "Project Freedom," an operation announced by U.S. President Donald Trump aimed at assisting stranded vessels in exiting the strait safely.
Key points from the Iranian statement:
Warning against Intervention: The Unified Command stated that any "aggressive American actions" would only complicate the current situation and further jeopardize the security of vessels in the Gulf.
Operational Control: Iran demanded that all commercial ships and oil tankers refrain from any movement without direct coordination with Iranian forces, asserting that it manages the strait with "high efficiency."
Vow of Retaliation: The statement emphasized that Iran will respond "decisively" to any threat at any level or in any region.
Project Freedom: The U.S. Response
President Trump stated that countries from across the globe—most of whom are not involved in the conflict—have requested U.S. assistance to liberate their ships, labeling them "neutral parties."
Writing on "Truth Social," Trump explained that Washington will guide these ships out of the waterways safely to allow them to resume their operations. He noted that he has directed his representatives to ensure the safe passage of these vessels and their crews, specifically those belonging to nations "not linked" to the ongoing regional events.
