Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have lifted objections to the United States using their bases and airspace for Operation “Project Freedom,” removing a key obstacle to a renewed US effort to secure shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal citing American and Saudi officials.
The report said the Trump administration is considering restarting the operation, which was launched to help commercial vessels navigate the strategically important waterway before ending only 36 hours after it began.
Pentagon officials told the newspaper the operation could resume “as early as this week,” although no official timeline was announced.
