Smart Control • Iran’s IRGC Establishes New Maritime Control Zones - video Dailymotion

The Military Channel

Monday morning in the Middle East marked the beginning of Operation Project Freedom, a massive U.S.-led mission to ‘guide’ hundreds of stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump announced the initiative on Truth Social, deploying over fifteen thousand service members and more than one hundred aircraft to support the defensive mission. While the U.S. continues its own naval blockade of Iranian ports—a move costing Tehran five hundred million dollars daily—Project Freedom focuses on escorting neutral commercial vessels through the high-risk zone. CENTCOM has already confirmed that two U.S.-flagged merchant vessels have successfully transited the Strait under the protection of guided-missile destroyers. This is a high-stakes test of resolve, as the U.S. military works to restore the flow of global energy while maintaining a tight grip on Iranian maritime movement.
