"Ships and oil tankers were seen anchored in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday. Iran's IRGC announced on Wednesday that "safe and sustainable passage" through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible under the "implementation of new protocols." The date and location of the footage cannot be independently verified. It came amid reports that an agreement between the sides could be close. On Wednesday, Donald Trump posted on social media that "assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran." "If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before," he added. On Tuesday night, Trump announced a 'pause' in so-called 'Project Freedom' - the plan to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. On Monday, he had warned that Iran would be 'blown off the face of the earth' if it attacked his vessels. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dubbed Trump's 'Project Freedom' as 'Project Deadlock': "As talks are making progress with Pakistan's gracious effort, the US should be wary of being dragged back into quagmire by ill-wishers." Around 2,000 ships are stuck in the Strait, with Iran blocking the key waterway to 'unfriendly' vessels - and the US blockading Iran's ports too. "
