His latest claim (about ships stuck in the strait) [View all]
https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-war-ceasefire-negotiations-strait-454006a0a9bb19a45a2f299c0869cefbTrump says the US will ‘guide’ stranded ships from the Strait of Hormuz, starting on Monday
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump announced a project that will start on Monday to help stranded ships leave the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively closed, but offered few details.
In a social media post on Sunday, Trump said “neutral and innocent” countries have been affected by the Iran war, and “we have told these Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business.”
“Project Freedom” would begin on Monday morning in the Middle East, Trump said and added that his representatives are having discussions with Iran that could lead to something “very positive for all.”
