Trump says US may resume Project Freedom, recover nuclear dust from Iran
May 11, 2026, 2:41 PM
U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News that he is considering resuming Project Freedom. He emphasized that the U.S. must recover and remove nuclear dust from Iran's destroyed nuclear facilities, adding that Iran lacks the technology to do so. The U.S. launched Project Freedom on May 4 to rescue ships isolated in Hormuz but abruptly suspended the operation two days later. Speculation that the U.S. might reconsider the operation has been growing since Saudi Arabia and Kuwait reauthorized the use of their bases and airspace for the U.S. military on May 7.
