Iran live update: Trump says 'Project Freedom' in Strait of Hormuz paused

There are three U.S. Navy destroyers inside the Persian Gulf, west of the Strait of Hormuz, as part of the “Project Freedom” defensive shield, according to two U.S. officials.

This includes a multiple layered system of ships, aircraft, and air defense systems to protect any commercial ships seeking to transit the Strait, according to officials.

The three destroyers are the USS Truxtun, USS Mason, and the USS Rafael Peralta, according to the officials.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a new warning to all vessels intending to transit in the strait, saying "the only safe route to pass through the Strait of Hormuz is the corridor previously announced by Iran," in a statement Tuesday.

"The diversion of vessels to other routes is unsafe and will face a decisive response from the IRGC Navy," the IRGC said.

President Donald Trump suggested that Iran hasn’t yet violated the ceasefire despite firing shots in the Strait of Hormuz, saying “I’ll let you know” when it is breached.

"They didn't shoot the ships that were guarded by us," Trump said during an Oval Office event on Tuesday.

"The blockade has been amazing. It's like a piece of steel. Nobody is going to challenge a blockade," Trump said.

Air defenses in the United Arab Emirates are dealing with projectiles launched from Iran, the Ministry of Defense said in a post on X Tuesday. It is unclear how many projectiles are involved.

"The Ministry of Defense confirms that the sounds heard in scattered areas of the country are the result of the UAE's air defense systems intercepting ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones," the ministry said.

This comes after the UAE's Ministry of Defense said 15 missiles and four drones launched from Iran were engaged on Monday.
