A new US plan to guide vessels through the Strait of Hormuz has left shipping
executives uncertain, with traffic still near a standstill amid ongoing attacks.
President Donald Trump said the initiative, dubbed Project Freedom, would help
ships exit safely but provided no details. A US notice cited an “enhanced
security area” and advised transits via Omani waters, without further
explanation. An Iranian lawmaker said US involvement would violate the current
ceasefire.
