Two days after President Donald Trump’s effort to open the Strait of Hormuz began, it has been put on pause.
Trump explained in a Tuesday evening post onTruth Socialthat in suspending the operation dubbed “Project Freedom,” he was acting “on the request of Pakistan and other Countries.”
Trump also noted his move was based on “the tremendous Military Success that we have had during the Campaign against the Country of Iran and, additionally, the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement with Representatives of Iran.”
With that as the backdrop, Trump wrote, “we have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed.”
By Wednesday morning, the wind had veered, as it often does in negotiations with Iran.
“Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end,” Trump wrote ina new post.
Trump said that his “highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran.”
But there was a catch. “If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before,” he wrote.
According to a report fromAxios, U.S. and Iranian negotiators are closing in on an agreement that can be contained in a one-page memo, with the details to be filled in later.
The deal would end nuclear enrichment in Iran and open the Strait of Hormuz, sources told Axios.
