PROJECT FREEDOM BURIED IN 48 HOURS: TRUMP SUSPENDS OPERATION HORMUZ AND ANNOUNCES 'GREAT PROGRESS' TOWARD IRAN DEAL
New Delhi: Pakistan requests, Trump obeys — Islamabad confirms its new status
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
New Delhi covers the suspension of Project Freedom with particular interest in Trump's mention of Pakistan's role. Times of India and NDTV insist that Trump explicitly cited 'Pakistan's request and other countries' as the reason for the pause.
This detail is not trivial for New Delhi: while India has withdrawn from the diplomatic forefront since the start of the Iran-USA war, Pakistan has emerged as a central mediator — receiving public praise from Trump, with Trump referring to General Asim Munir as his 'preferred field marshal.'
NDTV covers the most sensational angle: Wall Street Journal sources suggest Iran may consider using 'kamikaze dolphins carrying mines' against American ships at Hormuz.
New Delhi recalls that 85 percent of its oil imports transit the strait. The suspension of Project Freedom — without reopening Hormuz — changes nothing about the energy situation. India remains silent, focused on its own election results.
