US Hormuz Plan Leaves Shipowners Guessing as Attacks Persist

A fresh plan announced by US President Donald Trump to help vessels through the Strait of Hormuz has left shipping executives perplexed, as attacks continued and traffic remains at a near standstill.

Under what he called Project Freedom, Trump said on Sunday the US would guide ships trapped in the Persian Gulf “safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business.” He provided no detail.
