Hegseth says the US-Iran ceasefire is 'not over' despite attacks in Strait of Hormuz
Intertanko, a group representing independent oil tanker operators, has called for 'clear, verified information' on Trump's 'Project Freedom', a plan to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The group says it's too early to assess whether the project is a positive step due to limited details and the ongoing threat from Iran.
A group representing independent oil tanker operators has called for clear details on Trump's 'Project Freedom', a plan to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump announced on Sunday that the US would help guide stranded ships out of the closed waterway. Intertanko's Marine Director, Philip Belcher, says it's too early to assess whether the project is a positive step due to limited details. The US is expected to provide oversight from naval and air assets, while the Omani Coast Guard will coordinate ship movements within territorial waters. The threat to merchant vessels from Iran persists, and it's unclear whether the US would intervene in the event of an Iranian response.
