A massive U.S.-led naval mission meant to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is now facing mounting criticism after failing to ease the deepening maritime crisis. President Donald Trump’s much-publicized “Project Freedom” was launched with warships, surveillance aircraft and thousands of troops to secure one of the world’s most critical oil and trade routes. Yet despite the show of force, more than 1,600 commercial vessels remain stranded in and around the Persian Gulf.
Reports say tens of thousands of sailors are stuck at sea as fuel, food and medical concerns grow. U.S. Central Command has confirmed that only two U.S.-flagged ships successfully completed transit under military protection, raising fresh doubts over Washington’s ability to guarantee safe navigation through the increasingly volatile Hormuz corridor amid rising regional tensions.
