Trump pauses Hormuz operation after Saudi refusal
US President Donald Trump has decided to pause the military operation Project Freedom, which was designed to ensure safe passage for vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. The move comes after Saudi Arabia suspended permission for US forces to use its military bases and airspace. Riyadh's decision effectively blocked the Pentagon's ability to sustain the operation in the strategically vital waterway. The Saudi refusal caught Washington off guard and forced the White House to reassess its plans for protecting maritime traffic in the region. US officials have so far refrained from providing detailed comments on the next steps.
