(Central News Agency, Washington, 3rd, compiled from foreign reports) The US military announced that the US Central Command (CENTCOM) will begin supporting President Trump's "Project Freedom" to "restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz."
According to CNN, CENTCOM stated that this mission will officially launch on May 4th to support commercial vessels seeking free passage through this vital international trade corridor.
CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper stated that this defensive mission is crucial for regional security and the global economy, as the US maintains a maritime blockade against Iran.
According to the statement, the US military will deploy missile destroyers, over 100 land- and sea-based aircraft, and approximately 15,000 troops to participate in this mission.
US officials emphasized that "Project Freedom" is not a "convoy mission" in the traditional sense.
Additionally, CENTCOM stated that the "Maritime Freedom Construct" proposed by the US State Department last week will "play a key role" in this operation, combining information sharing and diplomatic actions with military coordination to maintain safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
