US President Donald Trump has claimed significant success in the ongoing military campaign against Iran and announced the temporary suspension of “Project Freedom” following requests from Pakistan and other allied countries.
In a recent statement issued by Donald Trump, it was said that Pakistan and several other countries had formally requested the United States to help reduce escalating tensions in the region and work towards restoring peace. Considering this diplomatic appeal and notable progress toward a “complete and final agreement” with Iranian representatives, the US administration has agreed to pause certain military activities temporarily.

According to the statement, the campaign launched to control maritime movement through the Strait of Hormuz, named “Project Freedom,” is being suspended for a short period. Trump clarified that the purpose of this step is to assess whether the parties are in a position to sign a final agreement. However, he also warned that the maritime blockade imposed on Iran will remain fully in force and no relaxation will be given at this stage.
