WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump says a project will start on Monday to help stranded ships leave the Strait of Hormuz, but offers few details. Trump in a social media post said on Sunday that “neutral and innocent” countries have been affected by the Iran war, and “we have told these Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business.” He said “Project Freedom” would begin Monday morning in the Middle East. He added that his representatives are having discussions with Iran that could lead to something “very positive for all.” THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz said it was attacked by multiple small craft, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center reported on Sunday, the latest in at least two dozen attacks in and around the strait since the Iran war began.
