00:00Well, as you know, President Trump has directed U.S. Central Command to restart the free flow
00:06of commerce through the Strait of Hormuz under the umbrella of Project Freedom.
00:11To be clear, this operation is separate and distinct from Operation Epic Fury.
00:18Project Freedom is defensive in nature, focused in scope, and temporary in duration, with
00:25one mission. Protecting innocent commercial shipping from Iranian aggression. American
00:32forces won't need to enter Iranian waters or airspace. It's not necessary. We're not
00:37looking for a fight, but Iran also cannot be allowed to block innocent countries and their
00:42goods from an international waterway. Iran is the clear aggressor, harassing civilian
00:50vessels, threatening mariners from every nation indiscriminately, and weaponizing a critical
00:57choke point for its own financial benefit.
