President Donald Trump on Friday threatened that he would up the ante on Project Freedom, the administration’s plan for the U.S. Navy to escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, if Iran does not agree to a ceasefire deal.
The comments come one day after Iran and the United States exchanged fire in the strait and the president suggested the world would see “one big glow” coming from Iran if it did not agree to a deal as the war passes its three-month mark.
