Betrayed by an ally: Why Trump halted Hormuz mission

When US President Donald Trump abruptly halted the naval operation escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, questions quickly emerged over what forced the reversal. Pakistan said it had urged the pause to give diplomacy another chance, but reports point to deeper complications.

According to recent reports, Saudi Arabia refused to allow US aircraft involved in the mission to use its airspace, effectively crippling “Project Freedom.”

The setback exposed cracks with key regional allies, as Washington shifts back toward diplomacy amid fragile negotiations with Iran.
