Trump announced the use of force in case of interference in the evacuation of ships from Hormuz.

The United States will be forced to use force if it encounters outside interference in the operation to withdraw ships from the Strait of Hormuz (Project Freedom). This was announced on May 4 by the American President Donald Trump in his social network Truth Social.

He clarified that the mission is of a humanitarian nature.

"If this humanitarian process is hindered in any way, such interference, unfortunately, will have to be dealt with by force," Trump said.

The Central Command of the US Armed Forces (CENTCOM) earlier that day reported that the United States would begin supporting the Freedom Project on May 4 in order to restore freedom of navigation for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz with the participation of 15,000 military personnel. The mission, initiated by US President Donald Trump, will provide support to merchant ships seeking to pass through the Strait of Hormuz unhindered.

On May 3, Trump announced that the United States would help withdraw ships blocked due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump also pointed out that the relocation of ships is intended only to free people, companies and countries that have become victims of circumstances. According to him, this gesture will be an important expression of goodwill.
