President Donald Trump told Fox News Monday that he is considering renewing Project Freedom, the U.S. operation intended to provide safe passage to ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Previously, the United States halted the operation in response to anger from Arab Gulf allies who were reportedly blindsided by the move.

Trump said that a renewed version of the project would include sweeping operations, of which escorting ships would constitute only a small part, but said he has not reached a final decision.

Amid discussions with Iran on a deal to end the war, the president said that Iranian officials informed him that they had no way to reach the enriched uranium, which is buried deep underground, leaving it to the U.S. to determine how to retrieve it.

While acknowledging that this presented a unique dilemma for the U.S., Trump reiterated his unwavering stance that Iran will never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. He also confidently asserted that Tehran is “going to fold” in the negotiations.
