Live Updates: Trump Urges World to Help Protect Strait of Hormuz
The president said all countries that use the vital shipping route should send warships. Iran has effectively choked off traffic in the narrow waterway, through which a fifth of the world’s oil must transit.
President Trump called on other countries, including Britain, France, South Korea and China, to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz to try to ensure that oil tankers could pass, as Iran pledged to keep the vital waterway closed.
In a social media post on Saturday, Mr. Trump said the “Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage, and we will help — A LOT!” It was far from clear, however, if any countries would volunteer to patrol the Persian Gulf strait, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil transits.

Trump says ‘many countries’ will send warships to Hormuz amid Iran blockade
US president urges naval coalition as Iran says Strait of Hormuz closed to ‘tankers and ships of enemies’ during war.
United States President Donald Trump has said “many countries” will dispatch warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, without offering details about which states are on board.
This comes as the waterway that carries a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas remains effectively closed on the 15th day of the US and Israel’s war on Iran.
Writing on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump said nations, “especially those affected by Iran’s attempted closure” of the strait, would be sending warships “in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe,” naming China, France, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom among those he hoped would contribute.
