Trump Claims Countries Will Send Warships To Reopen Strait of Hormuz

President Trump

President Donald Trump claimed Saturday that “other countries” will be sending warships “in conjunction” with the US to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

It is unclear which countries the president is talking about and whether any countries have agreed to send ships. Trump wrote later in the lengthy post on Truth Social, “Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others” will send ships to the region.

CNN has reached out to the White House for clarity on Trump’s post.

“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,” the president’s post reads.

Those comments prompted anger from Tehran, with Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warning that the White House’s policy is “inviting rather than deterring trouble.”

“Touted US security umbrella has proven to be full of holes,” Abbas posted on X on Saturday. “US is now begging others, even China, to help it make Hormuz safe. Iran calls on brotherly neighbors to expel foreign aggressors, especially as their only concern is Israel,” the foreign minister added.

Iran has effectively halted the passage of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, sparking a global energy crisis that the administration is now struggling to contain amid economic fallout.

Some background: Following a G7 meeting last week, French President Emmanuel Macron said France supports a coalition of naval ships to ensure free passage through the critical energy chokepoint, but urged a need for organization, which may take several weeks.

UK Defense Secretary John Healey echoed the sentiment on Thursday, noting that conversations about the Strait were in preliminary stages while underscoring the need to deescalate beforehand.
