Trump Launches ‘Project Freedom’ Hormuz Escort as Iran Warns of Ceasefire Violation
President Trump announced ‘Project Freedom,’ a US-led initiative to guide stranded commercial vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday, while Iran warned the mission would violate the ceasefire. The US delivered its response to Iran’s 14-point peace proposal via Pakistan, with Trump calling the latest terms unacceptable. Hezbollah claimed a rocket and artillery attack on Israeli forces in Al-Bayyada, and Israel canceled the annual Meron Lag Ba’omer celebration due to security concerns.
