Trump launches 'Project Freedom' to free ships stranded in Hormuz amid Iran conflict

President Donald Trump said the U.S. will attempt to 'free' civilian ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz as the war with Iran continues, a plan dubbed 'Project Freedom' that would begin Monday and focus on vessels flagged in non-conflicting countries; details on how it would be carried out or whether Iran will allow it are unclear, and the operation's potential impact on global oil markets remains a concern.
