Trump says US to pause operation to guide vessels through Strait of Hormuz | BBC News


US President Donald Trump said that "Project Freedom", which began days earlier, would be halted by "mutual agreement" because "great progress" had been made toward a deal with Iran.

We’ve not yet had an official response from senior figures in the Iranian regime, but several Iranian media outlets have framed the US announcement as a victory for Iran.

Although Trump has halted the US military operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a US blockade of Iranian ports will remain in place, he said.

China’s foreign minister Wang Yi met his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi for talks in Beijing on Wednesday, to "discuss bilateral relations and regional and international developments", Iran’s Fars news agency reported earlier.
