President Donald Trump announced that he was pausing Project Freedom, the mission off assisting commercial ships through the Strait off Hormuz, in a Truth Social post on Tuesday evening.
Although the U.S. blockade against Iranian ports will remain in effect, Trump said there has been great military success and progress toward a final agreement with Iran.
“Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed,” Trump wrote in his post.
