Kathmandu — U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that a special operation will begin from Monday morning to safely escort commercial ships stranded in the Hormuz waterway out of the area. Trump described the campaign as a ‘humanitarian initiative,’ naming it ‘Project Freedom.’
Sharing the information on the social media platform Truth Social, President Trump said that several countries not involved in the Middle East dispute had sought U.S. assistance to ensure the safety of their ships and crew members.
He said, “Most of the ships have begun to face shortages of food supplies and basic necessities. Taking into account the interests of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, we will guide those ships to safety.” He also warned that any kind of obstruction in this process would be met with a strong response.
