Trump claims Strait of Hormuz can open with military maneuver

US President Donald Trump stated the Strait of Hormuz can be reopened through a simple military operation, criticizing NATO allies for lacking the courage to assist. Speaking from Air Force One, Trump emphasized the need for ships and volume to facilitate the maneuver, noting allies have not provided support. He rejected ceasefire talks, asserting the US is "obliterating" Iran, which lacks military capabilities including a navy, air force, and radar systems. The comments follow DAILY POST's report of Trump's criticism toward allies unwilling to reopen the strategic oil route. This development could escalate tensions in the Middle East and impact global oil prices, with Nigeria's oil sector potentially affected by supply chain disruptions.
