Trump opens Hormuz under fire with ‘Project Freedom’ as Iran warns of attacks

The US has launched 'Project Freedom' to reopen the Strait of Hormuz under fire, with American forces intercepting Iranian missiles and drones, while Iran warns of attacks on any foreign military presence. Two US-flagged merchant vessels have successfully transited the strait. The operation has turned into a direct test of control over the strait, with the US and Iran on a path to potential open conflict.
