Hegseth: Hormuz mission is a separate front from the Iran war
TL;DR Summary
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the U.S.-led effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, called Project Freedom, is defensive, limited in scope, and separate from the broader Iran war, as Iran continues threats against shipping; allies have not committed to taking over the mission, while Washington plans to hand control to international partners, even as the conflict expands beyond its nuclear aim and disrupts global oil supplies.
