# President Donald Trump says the US military will begin guiding stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz from today. According to the International Maritime Organisation, over 800 ships and as many as 20-thousand seafarers have been unable to transit the Strait during the US-Iran conflict. In a post on Truth Social, Trump says he was launching the campaign, dubbed Project Freedom, at the request of countries whose vessels are stranded in the strait. He warned that any interference would be dealt with forcefully.
