“Hormuz Will Be Open, Safe and Free”

Donald Trump said several countries may send warships with the United States to keep the vital Strait of Hormuz open and secure for global shipping. Trump urged nations such as China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom to deploy naval forces to protect ships passing through the strategic route.

US Claims Iran’s Military Weakened

Trump claimed that the US has destroyed “100% of Iran’s military capability,” but warned that Iran could still attempt to disrupt shipping using drones, sea mines, or short-range missiles. Trump also said the US will keep targeting Iranian positions along the coastline and Iranian boats if needed, promising that the Strait of Hormuz will soon become “open, safe, and free” for international trade.
