U.S. Central Command will launch Project Freedom on May 4 to secure commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a route carrying about 25% of global seaborne oil.
The mission, ordered by President Trump, combines military support with a new diplomatic initiative, the Maritime Freedom Construct, to boost coordination with partners.
Support includes guided-missile destroyers, 100+ aircraft, unmanned systems, and 15,000 troops, as the U.S. maintains the naval blockade.

🔴 Iranian Major General Abdollahi Responds to President Trump: We will secure the Strait of Hormuz with full force (FULL STATEMENT)
🔹 Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters: We have repeatedly stated that the security of the Strait of Hormuz is under the control of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In all circumstances, safe passage must be coordinated with our forces.
🔹 The criminal leaders and the aggressive, terrorist U.S. military, which has recently turned to piracy in international waters and endangered global trade and the economy, should understand that Iran’s resilient people and powerful armed forces will respond harshly and decisively to any threat or aggression, at any level and in any location.
🔹 We will maintain full control over the security of the Strait of Hormuz and strongly manage it. All commercial ships and oil tankers are warned not to transit without coordination with forces stationed in the strait to avoid endangering their safety.
🔹 We warn that any foreign armed force, especially the aggressive U.S. military, attempting to approach or enter the Strait of Hormuz will be targeted.
🔹 Supporters of the U.S. should act with caution. Any aggressive move will only escalate the situation and put maritime security at greater risk.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:
"I will not give up on transatlantic relations. I will not give up on working with Donald Trump. What we're hearing now is not new, it's just more dramatic. The US regularly relocates its troops worldwide. There are still over 30,000 American soldiers in Germany."

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei on negotiations with the U.S.:
"We received the answer from the U.S. through Pakistan. I prefer not to go into the details of the issues raised right now, because they are still under consideration. But it can be assumed that the U.S. habit of excessive demands and unreasonable demands is not something that is easy for it to stop."
