US military officials speaking to the Wall Street Journal reported that the US Navy escorted a Greek tanker carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil off the coast of Oman. Officials stated that support is planned in the coming days for the passage of about a dozen ships, including tankers and container ships, through the Strait of Hormuz. The report noted that this protection is a renewed version of the Freedom Project, which was previously initiated by the US but halted about 36 hours after the operation began. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during his visit to India, stated that the proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear negotiations are on the table, indicating that positive developments may occur. It was noted that developments regarding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz could become clear in the coming hours.
