BREAKING: Trump Announces 'Project Freedom' to 'Guide' Neutral Ships Out of the Gulf; UPDATE: No Escorts

<![CDATA[UPDATES BELOW: The administration is now saying that the Navy will not escort the ships, and "guide" just means giving them directions for the best way out. It's not quite clear what is new about this, other than reiterating a threat to sink Iranian speedboats attacking ships. It may be a way to reset the clock for the War Powers Act. He declared that with the ceasefire, the hostilities were over; if Iran attacks a civilian ship and we respond, this might count in his mind as a new conflict. ]]>
