Trump says the US will 'guide' stranded ships from the Strait of Hormuz, starting on Monday
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) The United States will launch an effort on Monday to guide stranded ships from the Iran-gripped Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said, as two ships around the strait reported attacks.
Trump gave few details about what could be a sweeping attempt to help hundreds of vessels and some 20,000 seafarers. Iran quickly denounced the move as a ceasefire violation.
Trump said in a social media post on Sunday that neutral and innocent countries have been affected by the Iran war, and 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.
Project Freedom would begin on Monday morning in the Middle East, Trump said, adding that his representatives are having discussions with Iran that could lead to something very positive for all.

(6,993 posts)Absolutely, Mr. trump-- those goalposts can't move themselves. He'll spend a day or two word-salading out a few speeches about Absolute Victory over Iran. He'll turn that assignment in two weeks. Honest Abe he will! His idiots will tell us Iran is still toothless after last month's surrender which came fast on the heels of last year's bombing them into surrender. Any other opinions they'll say, are just silly, seditious propaganda they hate seeing distributed "all over the place."
It's easy to be deaf, dumb and mute if you try hard enough.

(988 posts)That hits a 3 Billion Dollar Arleigh Burke destroyer, doing substantial damage, remember the USS Cole. Many were killed and the expensive warship was out of action for at least two years for repairs as I recall. This is a fool's mission and we have the biggest fool running the show. Where has that great military mind, Kegsbreath been hiding? All gung-ho to start the thing but nowhere to be found with a solution after.
