US suspends military operation to escort ships through Hormuz

US President Donald Trump has called off a US military operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz after less than 48 hours. However, he said the US blockade of Iranian ports would remain in place.

Trump said he made the decision after a request from Pakistan, which has been acting as a mediator between the US and Iran - because "great progress has been made towards a full and final agreement" with Tehran.

Iranian state media described the move as a "retreat" after Trump's "continued failures" to reopen the vital waterway for global shipping.

Shortly before Trump's announcement, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had said that the initial US-Israeli offensive on Iran - Operation Epic Fury - was "over" as its objectives had been achieved./CNA, translated by BBC
