Gulf states were reportedly surprised by the announcement of "Project Freedom," a US initiative that triggered fears of renewed fighting. This surprise led to Saudi Arabia denying the use of its airspace, prompting former President Trump to pause a planned military operation in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is expected to respond to a US proposal on Thursday.
