President Donald Trump announces "Project Freedom" to guide vessels out of restricted waterways in a "humanitarian process" amid "very positive" U.S.–Iran talks.

BREAKING: 🔴

U.S. President Donald Trump: "Countries from all over the World, almost all of which are not involved in the Middle Eastern dispute going on so visibly, and violently, for all to see, have asked the United States if we could help free up their Ships, which are locked up in the Strait of Hormuz, on something which they have absolutely nothing to do with — They are merely neutral and innocent bystanders! For the good of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, 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. Again, these are Ships from areas of the World that are not in any way involved with that which is currently taking place in the Middle East. I have told my Representatives to inform them that we will use best efforts to get their Ships and Crews safely out of the Strait. In all cases, they said they will not be returning until the area becomes safe for navigation, and everything else. This process, Project Freedom, will begin Monday morning, Middle East time. I am fully aware that my Representatives are having very positive discussions with the Country of Iran, and that these discussions could lead to something very positive for all. The Ship movement is merely meant to free up people, companies, and Countries that have done absolutely nothing wrong — They are victims of circumstance. This is a Humanitarian gesture on behalf of the United States, Middle Eastern Countries but, in particular, the Country of Iran. Many of these Ships are running low on food, and everything else necessary for largescale crews to stay on board in a healthy and sanitary manner. I think it would go a long way in showing Goodwill on behalf of all of those who have been fighting so strenuously over the last number of months. If, in any way, this Humanitarian process is interfered with, that interference will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - Open Source Intel

This should not be hard. But it apparently is.

The U.S. is operating out of European bases. Operation Epic Fury is possible because of the bases and collaboration of Europeans. You do not have the war against Iran without close alliances with Europeans. - Rebeccah Heinrichs

Some leaders are warning NATO could face serious strain, even risk of fragmentation, amid shifting U.S. policy, according to @BreitbartNews ... who's probably celebrating along with Russia.

Trump says that the US will begin escorting ships out of the Persian Gulf, evacuating them from a multi-month internment caused by the Iran war.

He adds that any interference will be responded to forcefully. https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/2051042318044545063/photo/1

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz posted a statement on his 𝕏 account today, saying that the U.S. remains “Germany’s most important partner j. The North Atlantic Alliance.” This follows news from the past couple days that the Trump administration plans to begin a drawdown of U.S. forces from European nations. Most notably, 5,000 of these are set to come from Germany.

RT @DefenseBulletin: However, it should be noted that the E3 (Germany, France, UK) have approached the issue of Iran’s nuclear program before, during, and after the conflict in a manner that diverges significantly from that of the Trump administration, and Chancellor Merz himself has been highly critical of U.S.-led combat operations against Iran.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC):

"Totally agree with President Trump’s decision to launch Project Freedom, whose purpose is to restore freedom of navigation for the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passageway for the world economy that has been locked down by Iranian terrorism.

It is clear to me that Iran is playing games through negotiations as their last offer to end the conflict was absurd. Again, I hope this conflict can end diplomatically, but it is now time to regain freedom of navigation and forcefully respond to Iran if they insist on terrorizing the world.

Enough with this terrorist regime’s behavior."
