Donald Trump reversed his "Project Freedom" plan on May 5, to make way for negotiations with Iran with the aim of reaching a ceasefire. The project aimed to facilitate the safe exit of merchant ships trapped in the Strait of Hormuz. On France 24 we spoke with Fernando Wilson, an international analyst specialized in the Middle East, to understand the reasons for the suspension of the US plan. Furthermore, we discuss whether this turn really represents a firm step toward ending the conflict.
