"Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint will send ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a nation that has been totally decapitated."
"We have already destroyed 100% of Iran's Military capability, but it's easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are."
President Trump called for international allies including China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the UK to form a naval coalition to ensure transit through the Strait of Hormuz, claiming Iranian forces are attacking ships and threatening global commerce. As of Monday, no countries had committed to the plan. Australia explicitly declined participation, while China called for military operations to cease. Trump claimed Iran's military capability was destroyed but acknowledged Iranian drones, mines, and missiles still pose threats to shipping. The conflict has caused commercial vessel traffic to decrease and oil prices to spike in the third week of the U.S.-Israel war on Iran.
