U.S. President Donald Trump warned that military activity in the Strait of Hormuz could increase if negotiations with Iran fail to reach a final agreement. Speaking at the White House on Friday, Trump said that unless everything is finalized and signed, the United States may take a different path. He hinted at the possible resumption and expansion of the previously suspended military operation known as 'Project Freedom'.

Trump stated that Pakistan, acting as a mediator between Washington and Tehran, has urged the United States not to restart the military operation. He added that if conditions do not become favorable, the U.S. could return to 'Project Freedom' under a new phase called 'Project Freedom Plus', which would include additional measures. However, he did not specify what those additional steps might be.

The remarks signal renewed tension between the U.S. and Iran, with uncertainty surrounding the future of the negotiations and the potential scope of any expanded military initiative.
