The announcement came as global oil prices, which had been elevated due to disruptions caused by tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, initially eased slightly following news of Iran's proposal. However, prices spiked again after reports that Iran had turned back a U.S. warship attempting to enter the strait, according to Reuters. The U.S. denied Iranian claims that the ship was struck by missiles.
President Donald Trump announced 'Project Freedom,' a naval mission aimed at assisting ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz. According to BBC and Fox News, this initiative involves guiding vessels through a southern route of the strait using considerable military resources, including guided-missile destroyers, aircraft, drones, and 15,000 troops as reported by The Guardian and UPI.
Iran's response was swift and firm. According to TimesLIVE and Al Jazeera, Iran’s military warned that any foreign armed forces entering the Strait of Hormuz would be attacked. Ali Abdollahi, head of the Iranian military’s unified command, stated that commercial ships should refrain from moving unless they coordinate with Iran's military.
The ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran has been in place since April 8, but tensions have escalated with Trump's new military initiatives. The U.S. Navy continues to block exports of Iranian crude oil, exacerbating concerns about an economic downturn as reported by Al Jazeera and Reuters.
In response to Trump's announcement, top Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Azizi warned that any U.S. interference in the strait would be considered a violation of the ceasefire according to Al Jazeera. The US Treasury has also warned shippers against paying tolls or other fees to Iran for passage through the Strait of Hormuz as reported by Reuters and Al Jazeera, including charitable donations.
