US President Donald Trump has announced to start a new scheme named Project Freedom. The objective of this plan is to safely rescue the ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz. Due to increasing tension in the Middle East, ships of many countries are stuck in this important sea route. Trump said that many countries have asked for help from America. These countries are not directly involved in the war, but their ships are stuck in this area.
Trump said that these ships and the people on them are innocent and it is necessary to get them out safely. Under this plan, America will, with the help of its ships, show safe passage to these stranded ships, so that they can come out without any danger and continue their work. This campaign will start on Monday morning (Middle East time).
Trump called this step a humanitarian initiative. He said that there is a shortage of food and essential items on many ships, due to which the people present there are facing problems. Therefore, it is important to get them out safely quickly. He also said that this plan will benefit all countries, even Iran.
Trump has instructed his officials to do their best so that all the ships and their crews can get out safely. He also said that many ships will not return until the area is completely safe. Meanwhile, Trump said that talks between America and Iran are going well and a major agreement can be reached in future.
However, he warned that if anyone tried to disrupt this operation, America would take strict action. It is clear that this mission is very sensitive and risky. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important sea routes in the world, through which a large part of the world's oil and gas passes.
There has been a disruption due to the Iran war, which has affected trade and oil prices all over the world. Earlier, Trump had also rejected Iran's 14-point peace proposal and refused to accept it.
