"Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran's attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. He gave little detail beyond saying he hoped China, France, Japan, South Korea and the UK would also send warships."
"He stated that even though Iran's military was already destroyed 100%, it was easy for Tehran to continue threatening ships with drones, mines and short-range missiles. The US, he said, will be bombing the hell out of Iran's shoreline to try to counter that."
"His comments on Truth Social came hours after he ordered a strike on military sites on Kharg Island, from which Iran exports almost all its oil, upping the ante in a Middle East war that's raged for more than two weeks and shows little sign of easing."
President Trump escalated military actions against Iran by ordering strikes on military facilities at Kharg Island, claiming they were obliterated while deliberately avoiding oil infrastructure. He announced plans to send US warships to the Strait of Hormuz and called on multiple countries including China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the UK to deploy warships jointly to keep the strait open and safe. Trump stated Iran's military was destroyed but remained capable of threatening ships through drones, mines, and missiles, warning the US would intensify bombing of Iran's shoreline. Iran's Foreign Minister countered that the strait closure applied only to enemy vessels. The escalation continues a Middle East conflict that began February 28 with US-Israeli bombing, resulting in approximately 3,750 deaths across the region.
