The U.S. and Iran's ceasefire is under threat after President Trump announced 'Project Freedom' to guide vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's armed forces said they would not allow passage to American combat forces or commercial ships without authorization. U.S. Central Command head Adm. Brad Cooper said Tehran's forces opened fire on U.S. warships and commercial vessels on Monday, and American forces returned fire, destroying six small Iranian boats. The U.S. military has redirected 50 commercial vessels attempting to bypass U.S. warships in the region. The head of Iran's central command, Maj. Gen. Ali Abdollahi, warned that Tehran would attack 'any foreign armed force' that tried to approach or enter the strait.
