The US has paused Project Freedom, an operation launched on Monday to guide stranded ships through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Donald Trump. The pause will last for a short period to see if a peace deal with Iran can be finalized, but the US blockade of Iran's ports will continue. Iranian state media said Trump has retreated and is trying to cover up the failure of his operation. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth insisted the Iran-US truce was not over despite clashes in the Strait of Hormuz. At least 10 sailors have died due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, according to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The US is aiding 23,000 civilian sailors stranded in the Persian Gulf.
