Iran touted the “US failure to achieve its objectives in the so-called ‘Freedom Project’” in a statement on INSA, a state-run media outlet, following President Donald Trump’s announcement he was pausing the effort, CNN reported .
The INSA statement said Trump called off the operation “following firm positions and warnings from Iran.”
Iran’s state-run Tasnim News Agency also hailed the move in a post on its Farsi-language account on X, describing it as: “Trump Backs Down.”
In his announcement suspending Project Freedom, Trump cited progress in diplomatic talks as a reason for pausing the programme, which aimed to use US military assets to help guide commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
