Iran's military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, has issued a warning to the US army, stating that any foreign armed forces, particularly the US, will be attacked if they attempt to enter the Strait of Hormuz. This warning follows the announcement that the United States will begin operations to assist ships stranded in the strategically important waterway, which is crucial for global oil transport. President Donald Trump framed this initiative, termed 'Project Freedom,' as a humanitarian intervention, aimed at aiding vessels facing dire conditions, including shortages of food and supplies. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that it would support this mission starting May 4, deploying guided-missile destroyers, over 100 aircraft, and approximately 15,000 service members to ensure safe navigation through the Strait.
