US President Trump announced overnight into Monday the launch of "Project Freedom," a US military-backed operation to escort neutral commercial vessels safely out of the Strait of Hormuz, writing on Truth Social that countries uninvolved in the Middle East conflict had asked Washington to help free their ships trapped in the waterway.
