Trump angered key Gulf allies by announcing Project Freedom in the first place, NBC News reported on Wednesday. Citing two officials, the report sheds light on the moments after Trumps announcement and on what ultimately caused him to hit pause.
Saudi Arabia informed the U.S. that it would not allow the U.S. military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan Airbase southeast of Riyadh, the officials said. The U.S. would also be unable to fly through Saudi airspace to support efforts to open the Strait.
After a call between Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman failed to address the issue, the president abruptly halted Project Freedom to restore critical U.S. military access to the airspace, according to the officials.
The problem with that premise is that things are happening quickly in real time, a Saudi source said of Trumps initial Project Freedom announcement, noting Saudi Arabia was very supportive of the diplomatic efforts that Pakistan has undertaken as the intermediary between the U.S. and Iran.
