President Trump has just announced that he is pausing Project Freedom because of the negotiations going on with Iran.
Here’s what he wrote:
Based on the request of Pakistan and other Countries, the tremendous Military Success that we have had during the Campaign against the Country of Iran and, additionally, the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement with Representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Well this is interesting. I would think that freeing up these ships for the rest the world would be paramount here, and I’m just not sure why Iran would even want this paused. Unless they want to profit in some way on these ships getting through Hormuz at some point.
Of course we don’t know all the details, but this just seems odd to me at face value.
