U.S. Pauses ‘Proyecto Libertad,’ Shifts Iran Shipping Fight to the U.N.

The White House shifts from escorts to a U.N. push to curb Iranian threats in the Strait of Hormuz.

Overview

  • President Trump ordered a temporary halt to the U.S. naval escort mission known as “Proyecto Libertad” and said the broader blockade stays in full effect.
  • Trump linked the pause to progress in talks with Iran and to requests from Pakistan and other countries.
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the end of U.S. military operations against Tehran and said Washington favors a diplomatic path.
  • The State Department said it will bring a Security Council resolution with Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar, and it expects a vote in the coming days.
  • The draft demands Iran stop attacks, halt mine‑laying and tolls, disclose the number and location of any mines, cooperate in clearance, and support a humanitarian corridor for trapped ships.
