Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have lifted restrictions on the U.S. military\u2019s use of their bases and airspace imposed after the start of the American operation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,\u00a0<\/strong>according to U.S. and Saudi officials, easing a hurdle that had tripped up President Trump\u2019s effort to move ships through the vital waterway.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration is now looking to restart the operation to guide commercial ships with naval and air support that it had paused after 36 hours this week, U.S. officials said.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t clear when that could happen though Pentagon officials gave a timeline of as early as this week.<\/p>\n

The U.S. operation to force open the strait relied on an enormous fleet of aircraft to protect commercial ships from Iranian missiles and drones, making Saudi and Kuwaiti bases and airspace critical to its execution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump had suspended the effort, called Project Freedom, on Tuesday evening, after a phone call with the kingdom\u2019s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman<\/strong>\u00a0in which the de facto Saudi leader conveyed his concerns and advised the president of the decision about base and airspace restrictions, the Saudi officials said. The president tried to get the Gulf leader to back down, they said.<\/p>\n
