US-Iran War: Trump Also Wants China to Help Open Strait of Hormuz

Amid the escalating US‑Iran war, US President Donald Trump has called on international allies to help keep the strategic Strait of Hormuz open for shipping by contributing warships and naval support. Trump’s appeal comes as Iran’s threats and disruptions have effectively hindered maritime traffic through the vital oil transit route, which carries roughly one‑fifth of global energy supplies.

Amid the intensifying US‑Iran war, US President Donald Trump has called on international allies to help ensure freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, urging them to contribute naval support alongside American forces. Trump has stressed that keeping this vital oil shipping route open is crucial as Tehran has threatened to disrupt maritime traffic, which has contributed to surging global fuel prices.


The United States plans to announce a multinational coalition to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic oil transit route currently threatened by the ongoing US‑Iran war. Allied nations are expected to contribute naval forces to protect commercial vessels and ensure freedom of navigation amid heightened tensions and Iranian threats to maritime traffic.

India has said it will rely on its own efforts to secure vital oil shipments passing through the strategic Strait of Hormuz amid rising tensions in West Asia. The move comes as the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran raises fears of disruptions to global energy supply routes.


India To Relay On Its Own Efforts to Secure Oil Through Hormuz 

Amid escalating tensions in the US-Israel war with Iran, the Donald Trump administration has called on major global powers to join efforts to secure the vital Strait of Hormuz. The waterway is one of the world’s most important energy corridors, carrying roughly 20% of global oil shipments, making its security critical for global markets.

Amid Trump's call for help in Strait of Hormuz, Japan says bar high for sending warships

Iran has deployed about a dozen mines in ​the Strait of Hormuz, two sources familiar with the matter ‌said, in a move likely to complicate the reopening of the narrow waterway, an important route for shipping oil and liquefied natural gas.
Exports of ​oil and LNG through the strategic chokepoint along Iran's ​coast have effectively been halted by the war launched 12 ⁠days ago by the United States and Israel, helping to ​drive a surge in world energy prices.

The United States is preparing to deploy additional Marines to help secure the Strait of Hormuz as tensions in the region continue to escalate.


US-Iran War | Reports: Iranian Strikes Damage Five US Planes in Saudi Arabia

The United States has carried out strikes on military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island, a key strategic location in the Persian Gulf and a major hub for Iranian oil exports. US President Donald Trump said American forces destroyed military installations on the island while deliberately avoiding oil infrastructure.

Kharg Island handles the majority of Iran’s crude exports and lies close to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints. Trump also warned that oil facilities could be targeted if shipping through the strait is disrupted.

Meanwhile, two Indian vessels are expected to cross the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting the continued risks to commercial shipping as the conflict disrupts maritime traffic in the Gulf. The strait normally carries a significant share of the world’s oil shipments, making any disruption a major global concern.

France and Italy have reportedly opened diplomatic channels with Iran to discuss the safety of commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to media reports.

The talks aim to secure guarantees for European vessels navigating the strategic waterway, a critical global oil chokepoint disrupted by the ongoing Iran war.

Shipping traffic through the strait has slowed sharply since US-Israeli strikes on Iran triggered retaliatory threats and attacks, pushing oil prices higher and raising fears of a global energy crisis.

However, Italian officials have denied negotiating a special deal with Tehran, saying diplomatic contacts are focused on broader de-escalation rather than arrangements for specific ships.


US-Iran War | Reports: France, Italy Seek Deal With Iran For Safety of Ships

President Donald Trump said on Friday the U.S. would soon begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz to protect them from Iranian attack, as his administration searches for ways to ease high oil prices fuelled by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

Trump issued a temporary waiver for some purchases of sanctioned Russian oil, a move that drew criticism from U.S. allies in Europe for potentially helping Russia fund its war with Ukraine.
