How did Iran’s rockets counter the new lies and threats of Trump’s “Freedom Project”?

Why shouldn’t we see the Strait of Hormuz as a grave for his hubris and the pride of his magnificent country? And will he look to China for help?

The Iranian army’s use of two missiles to target an American military ship attempting to breach the Strait of Hormuz, forcing it to turn back, is the first sign of Iran’s military response to President Donald Trump’s “Freedom Project” launched yesterday under the guise of allowing more than 900 ships and oil tankers stranded in Gulf waters to pass through.

Ibrahim Azizi, the head of the Iranian parliament’s National Security Committee, issued a strong warning to President Trump following his announcement of a new aggressive maritime project against Iran, stating, “Any American intervention in the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the ceasefire established since April 8 and will be met with a strong response.” The Khatam al-Anbiya military installation reiterated this position in an official statement, saying, “Any foreign force will be attacked if it approaches the Strait of Hormuz.”

The Gulf, Arabian Sea, and Strait of Hormuz region are on the verge of a full-fledged naval conflict if President Trump follows through on these threats, which he is attempting to mask with humanitarian objectives. The military has deployed dozens of naval ships, more than 100 fighter jets, and 16,000 soldiers.

Trump used all his threats and pressure tactics against Iran to reach a deal that would save his face, stop the collapse of his administration, and uphold the prestige of the American state. However, the firmness of the Iranian position and their refusal to concede on their fundamental conditions, especially their insistence on the legitimate right to enrich uranium and retain the stockpile estimated at 460 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, left the American president in a state of despair and frustration due to the failure of all his plans and threats against Iran.

Iran has stressed that it is militarily prepared to counter any American action in an attempt to forcibly breach the Strait of Hormuz. It has declared a state of emergency among its forces, frigates, and destroyers, as well as its spider fleet composed of thousands of very fast martyr boats that could play a significant role in countering and disabling American warships.

President Trump begged all European countries to form a joint naval and air force to storm the Strait of Hormuz, but he received no response. Almost all of these countries preferred to avoid these disastrous expeditions. This fact is evident from Trump’s false claim that many countries called on him to intervene and free their ships stranded in the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. The most significant evidence of this grand lie is that he did not name a single one of these countries.

The matter does not require the deployment of American warships to release these stranded vessels; the reason is the arrogance and madness of American power, not Iran. Iran is ready to resume navigation through the Strait of Hormuz as before once the U.S. ends its maritime blockade of all Iranian ports. The Iranian authorities had allowed freedom of navigation in the strait, but they closed it in response to the American blockade of their ships.

The American-Israeli aerial aggression against Iran has failed to achieve any of its objectives, especially the overthrow of the Iranian regime, forcing its leadership to surrender and raise the white flags and stopping its cluster and hypersonic missiles from destroying most of Greater Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other occupied Palestinian cities. Certainly, any maritime aggression launched by Trump against Iran under the pretext of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz will face the same fate.

The Strait of Hormuz may turn into a graveyard for American naval vessels in the coming days if Trump stays true to his threats and does not back down, as he has done many times before. The commander of the Iranian navy confirmed that the Lincoln aircraft carrier was targeted by missiles more than seven times, forcing it to move out of the range of Iranian naval missiles. Perhaps this development explains the “retreat” of the aircraft carriers “George W. Bush” and “USS Gerald Ford” to safe areas beyond the reach of Iranian missiles.

The failure of the American-Israeli aggression; the resilience of the Iranian leadership and the popular base that rallied around it; and the revelation of very advanced equipment, missiles, and radars, some of which were used by Iranian forces and forced Trump to resort to a ceasefire all these factors, whether combined or individual, confirm the dual American-Zionist defeat and the failure to achieve any partial or total victory in a war they believed would be easy and one-sided, namely, the defeat and subjugation of Iran.

In conclusion, we say that Trump will likely retract his latest lies, which is the “Freedom Project”, and resort to Arab and Muslim mediators like Pakistan and Oman, crawling and seeking salvation. He will probably appeal to the Chinese mediator to pull him out of this deep pit into which Benjamin Netanyahu and his Zionist disciples, such as Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, have thrown him.
