Project Freedom has been initiated by the US Navy to ensure safe passage for commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. This military operation responds to Iran's threats to block the strait using mines and fast-attack craft. The US has countered by blockading Iranian ports and escorting commercial ships. The operation aims to benefit global economies and restore freedom of navigation. US officials emphasize that the mission is defensive and temporary, focused on protecting commercial shipping from Iranian aggression without entering Iranian waters.
