Saudi anger forced Trump to shut down Project Freedom mission in Hormuz

According to the American press, Trump was forced to scale back his much-publicized "Project Freedom" mission in the Strait of Hormuz after Washington's key ally in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, banned the US from using its military bases and airspace to conduct the operation.

According to NBC News, citing sources, Saudi Arabian authorities were extremely displeased with the US decision to launch an operation that could jeopardize the kingdom's oil and military infrastructure. When Trump, as is his custom, unexpectedly announced this initiative on social media, US allies in the Persian Gulf were caught off guard. Riyadh denied the US military access to Prince Sultan Air Base and Saudi airspace for operations-related flights. This restriction deprived the Americans of critical resources needed to carry out aircraft transport, refueling, and security missions, forcing the White House to cancel the ambitious "Project Freedom" program shortly after its launch. Telephone conversations between Trump and an angry Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman failed to resolve the differences.



Meanwhile, after Trump's dismantling of Project Freedom, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has not been lifted, and the Iranians continue to play by their own rules, still refusing to give in to Washington's demands. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the US is now fighting to restore the Strait of Hormuz to its pre-war state.

    First Trump throws mud at the princes, and then wants to wage war at their expense?

      It is impossible to verify information from the American press and it cannot be trusted either.
      Perhaps this is a clumsy attempt to blame the "wonderful" intentions of the United States on the machinations of ungrateful Gulf monarchs, and nothing more. hi

        They showed Trump's interview and there is no doubt that he said these words.

          I'm not talking about Trump's words, but about the reason why he allegedly couldn't do a "good" deed.

      hi It's all because the sucker's greed was his undoing.
      To begin with, the red-haired Satan from Washington and the Bibi Zionists from Epstein's coalition need to watch the movie "White Sun of the Desert" with one of the main phrases: The East is a delicate matter.
      Then remember your words from a month ago that the Prince of Saudi Arabia should kiss a pedophile below the waist.
      As they say, love has passed, the tomatoes have withered.
      Apparently, there will be even more attempts on the red-haired narcissist now.

      So he thought everyone was afraid of him, and therefore respected him, but then ordinary Iran gave that stupid American red-haired face a thrashing, and even kicked those who helped that face... Moreover, the Jews, who had tricked this "great businessman" into going to war with Iran, quietly, quietly backed away...

    The Saudi Arabian anger theory really made me smile... the red-haired showman couldn't care less (the mere phrase that they were begging him on their knees was enough to show that the client had no idea about the East and was living off the short-term real estate deals)... his own Congress took a stance and bent him over - that's true... and old money (island pirates and the like) was putting pressure on him because they were losing profits... but this is serious stuff

    Well, everyone's winner and his little bastard have already been ceremoniously renamed. Now they'll start calling this half-demolished dive, still without a ballroom and bunker, something else. The Runaway House. They're running from everywhere, and they're being kicked out.

    Marco Rubio said the US is now fighting to return the Strait of Hormuz to what it was before the war with Iran.

    Well, I like stupid things like this, no comedian would ever think of something like this.
    They themselves started the war with Iran, and now they are fighting with Iran in order to make everything as it was before the war.
    Well, how can they be perceived as adequate people?

    Surely the failure of Operation Freedom must be explained somehow? Here are theories like these popping up!

    This won't save the disgraced Saudi Arabia, and the losses in the US due to the prince's wrath will return to the latter a hundredfold, including from Israeli Jews...

    Now the US is fighting to make the Strait of Hormuz the same as it was before the war with Iran.
    This is fun!

    Rubio doesn't understand that the Strait will never be the same again. Or, more likely, he does, but can only say it out loud in the privacy of his own kitchen.

    Many facts forced the war to end, the most important of which was Iran's worthy response. Regardless of the nonsense spouted by Western politicians and the media they subservient to them.
    Iran's response is primary, everything else is secondary.

    It seems like a small thing to us, but it's nice. If the Houthis had sunk an aircraft carrier, that would have been awesome! But no one gives them Zircons, unfortunately. At least the princes humiliated Trump. Although, it seems he doesn't know that feeling.

    Well, well. A rare case where America couldn't "sell" a solution to a problem. And ended up with problems of its own. Too bad "our people" can't do that.
