Blockade Efforts Increase With 'Project Freedom'

President Trump announcing the U.S. will be escorting commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz.

Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, says the U.S. blockade is tightening around Iran, with nearly 50 vessels being redirected, dozens of ships being damaged by Iranian attacks, and about 20,000 sailors remain stuck in the region. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Jennifer Griffin, Chief National Security correspondent for FOX News Channel, who lays out the details of 'Project Freedom', and the latest state of the blockade.
