Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Tuesday that the U.S. plan to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, dubbed "Project Freedom," will instead turn into "Project Deadlock".
In a post on social media platform X, Araghchi warned that as talks make progress with Pakistan's mediation, "the U.S. should be wary of being dragged back into quagmire by ill‑wishers. So should the UAE".
He added that developments in the Strait of Hormuz show there is no military solution to a political crisis.
The "Project Freedom" is "Project Deadlock," said Araghchi in the post.
The Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for nearly one‑fifth of global oil shipments, has become a flashpoint since late February when Iran barred safe passage to vessels linked to Israel and the United States after joint strikes on Iranian territory.
On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump said that the United States would begin guiding ships out of the Strait of Hormuz on Monday morning, describing the move, named Project Freedom, as a "humanitarian gesture".
In response, Iran's military commanders warned that unauthorized transits will be struck and that any foreign armed forces approaching the strait will face severe retaliation.
