Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have escalated sharply after U.S. President Donald Trump launched ‘Project Freedom,’ a military-backed escort mission aimed at securing global shipping routes.
Within hours of the operation, the region witnessed a surge in hostilities. The United States says it intercepted multiple Iranian drones and missiles targeting naval and commercial vessels, while also striking several small boats in the area. Iran has denied suffering any losses and has instead accused U.S. forces of hitting civilian vessels, alleging casualties. Meanwhile, tensions have spilled beyond the strait, with drone interceptions reported over the United Arab Emirates and an oil facility strike in Fujairah injuring civilians, including Indian nationals.
