U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the joint U.S.-Israel airstrike campaign 'Epic Fury' against Iran has concluded after achieving its objectives, as President Donald Trump paused the convoy escort mission through the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts say the move may signal the 'beginning of the end' of the conflict.
President Donald Trump announced the suspension of a US-led program to escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Kyodo News. The move comes amid ongoing Middle East tensions, though Washington has not disclosed specific reasons. The strait is a vital oil shipping route, and the decision could reshape Gulf security.
President Donald Trump has suspended the military operation "Project Freedom" to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, citing requests from Pakistan and other nations and progress in talks with Iran. The decision aims to allow diplomatic efforts to finalize a comprehensive agreement with Tehran while maintaining the blockade.
The US military has launched 'Project Freedom' to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway blocked amid US-Iran tensions. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the campaign as defensive and temporary, while Iran has warned vessels to follow its designated corridors or face retaliation.
Iran launched missile and drone strikes on the UAE for a second consecutive day amid soaring U.S.-Iran tensions. The strikes follow a 15-missile attack Monday that wounded three people and hit a key oil terminal in Fujairah, escalating fears of renewed conflict.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on May 5 said the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran remains in effect despite recent military clashes around the Strait of Hormuz, though shipping through the strategic waterway remains largely stalled as Iran asserts control. Hegseth stressed that Operation Project Freedom is separate from the U.S.-Israeli offensive, and Washington may tolerate some Iranian attacks while reopening the strait. Tehran, meanwhile, is consolidating its “new equation” at Hormuz, claiming it still controls the waterway.
The US, Iran and the UAE have traded accusations of strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating Gulf tensions despite a ceasefire. Iran claimed it hit a US warship, the US said it sank IRGC vessels, and the UAE accused Iran of attacking Fujairah.
UAE tuyên bố đánh chặn tên lửa từ Iran, một cơ sở dầu tại Fujairah bốc cháy sau nghi vấn bị máy bay không người lái tấn công.

Iran accused the US of killing five civilians in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming American forces attacked passenger vessels, not IRGC ships as Washington stated.
