US military says Hormuz Project Freedom has ‘just begun’
Ship owners and insurance companies have responded positively to the US military’s Project Freedom operation in the Strait of Hormuz, which has “just begun," a CENTCOM spokesperson told Al Jazeera Arabic.
The spokesperson said the operation is temporary and aimed at creating a safe corridor and “security umbrella” for commercial vessels.
The operation is intended to ensure ships can safely transit the strait and support regional and global economies, the spokesperson added.
