US to 'guide' stranded ships from Hormuz: What we know about 'Project Freedom' • FRANCE 24 English

The United States said Monday it is ready to “guide” commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz in a new effort to end the blockade wreaking havoc on the global economy. The U.S.-led Joint Maritime Information Center advised ships to cross the strait in Oman’s waters, saying it had set up an “enhanced security area.” The American military has said the initiative might involve guided-missile destroyers, more than 100 aircraft and 15,000 service members but has not specified what kind of assistance or escorts it would provide ships. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Kethevane Gorjestani tells us more.
