US President Donald Trump has temporarily suspended 'Project Freedom', an operation initiated to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and facilitate the passage of merchant vessels. Announced via his Truth Social platform, the suspension aims to create an opportunity for a potential agreement with Iran. This decision was influenced by requests from mediating countries, such as Pakistan, and the progress of ongoing diplomatic talks. Trump, however, stressed that blockades on Iranian ports will remain in effect.
