Trump threatens to dump allies over Hormuz as Iran crisis deepens
TL;DR Summary
Trump warns he will leave responsibility for opening the Strait of Hormuz to its main users, accusing allies of not backing the effort as Iran closes the waterway. The move coincides with evacuations of Gulf oil sites, reports of Israeli strikes on Iran’s South Pars field, and a flurry of regional responses (Qatar, Russia) and criticism of NATO’s role, while UK officials lament the lack of a clear Hormuz-contingency plan.
