As Iran continued to target oil infrastructure in the Gulf, US President Donald Trump accused several Western partners of being unappreciative when they refused to send warships to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
There is no end in sight to the third week of the US-Israeli war on Iran. 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas pass through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, which is still mostly closed off, driving up energy costs and creating concerns about inflation.
We lack the mandate from the United Nations, the European Union or NATO required under the Basic Law,” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated in Berlin, adding that Washington and Israel had not consulted Germany before starting the war. Several US allies, including Germany, Spain, and Italy, said they had no immediate plans to send ships to help reopen the strategic waterway, which Iran has effectively closed with drones and naval mines.
Speaking at a White House function in Washington, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with certain long-standing allies while claiming that numerous nations had informed him that they were ready to assist.
