Trump Urges Global Naval Support for Hormuz Strait
US President Donald Trump called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and other nations to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has all but halted with strikes. The critical waterway carries a fifth of global oil and LNG. Trump asserted Iran's military capability was destroyed but conceded it could still attack the strait. He vowed the US would bomb Iranian boats and shoreline to keep the strait open. Oil prices spiked amid the disruption.
