In a series of reports published today, May 11, 2026, it emerged that United States President Donald Trump stated in an interview with "Fox News" that he is considering renewing the military operation to liberate or open the Strait of Hormuz, also known as "Operation Freedom".
Amit Segal, known for his traditional position supporting the American and Israeli line against Iran, reported that this is a strategic initiative intended to ensure freedom of navigation in the strait. The report received broad resonance in other media outlets, including News from the Field on Telegram and Dafna Liel, who noted that the remarks were made as a direct response to the tension with Tehran.
Security sources, including Kol Yisrael News - Security Reports, emphasized that Trump's statement constitutes "an answer to Iran's unacceptable offer in negotiations".
