The US president has demanded that China, Japan, and other nations deploy naval units to the vital route to protect maritime traffic from Iranian strikes.
Countries that receive oil through the Strait of Hormuz “must take care” of securing it, US President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social late on Saturday, adding that Washington “will help – A LOT!”
The US and Israel began coordinated strikes on the Islamic Republic in late February, triggering Iranian retaliatory attacks across the region. The escalating crisis has effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about one-fifth of the world’s daily oil and gas supply, after Tehran barred vessels from countries it considers hostile, sending global crude prices up nearly 50% to about $120 a barrel.
In an earlier post the same day, Donald Trump said he hoped “China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK and others affected by this artificial constraint will send ships to the area.”
“In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water,” he wrote.
Western nations have begun bolstering their military presence in the region. Britain is considering additional deployments to the Gulf after Iran stepped up attacks on vessels, Defense Secretary John Healey said, adding that the UK already has autonomous mine-hunting systems in the area.
The French Navy is reportedly deploying about a dozen vessels, including an aircraft carrier strike group, to the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and potentially the Strait of Hormuz as part of defensive support for allies threatened by the conflict.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that the strategically vital strait remains operational for international shipping, but vessels linked to the US and Israel are not permitted to pass through the waterway. He emphasized that other nations remain free to navigate the passage.
Last week, an India-bound oil tanker sailing under a Liberian flag passed through the Strait of Hormuz and berthed in Mumbai.
Now where have I heard that before? Once upon a time, Jacinda abused and exploited a team of 5 million

Says the bully who started a fight he can’t handle. He should piss off back to his hemisphere and leave well enough alone, but no, he has to drag everyone else into his fight.
Donald Trump, you picked this fight, you finish it.
Exactly
How about he withdraws and leaves israel to deal with it. They wanted this conflict they can have it.
We will NOT support any more wars, we will NOT allow our sons to be used as cannon fodder. Send Baron Trump and Satanayus sons to this war, put them on the front line.
😡
Couldn’t agree more. Our kids don’t need to die overseas for some other government (or any government to that matter)
So Stumps hoping other nations will come to the rescue and bolster the flagging US and Israeli campaign. The smelly old Frogs and Pongo’s might join in but they don’t amount, to much and will get their frog legs and pasty Pommy arses scorched as well…… Maccer and Starmie are already deeply unpopular at home, too. This wont help them politically one bit.
Time for Trump to be put in a straight jacket and hauled off to the funny farm.
Let Israel fight its own wars and stop trying to drag everyone into the mess Israel created.
AMEN 👍
All of you last week: THis wAr AffEcTs uS aLL 😱😩
All of you this week: THis iS nOt oUr wAr 🥴
Which one is it? Asking for a friend
Well Dave, both are true. It’s not our war, and it does affect us. It shouldn’t, but because it does, then we’re entitled to an opinion on it
reality is we hate Israel and Zionists that govern wit that peace of land so no we don’t want to die for their benefit. fck them
I don’t want my petrol costing more because one country wants to bomb another. I also don’t want to die overseas because one country wants to bomb another. Perfectly consistent opinions, zero contradiction there.
What is your actual point you’re trying to make? 🤷🏼♂️
The yanks are coming into their summer. Their driving season starts soon where they love driving long distances from state to state and want cheaper fuel.
If Trump convinces them that war against Iran will bring cheaper fuel for summer, they will join Team Trump.
Their fickle opinion polls should reflect this.
Tantrum Trump.
The US aircraft carriers are sitting this one out far enough away from Iran https://news-pravda.com/usa/2026/03/16/2157779.html
It’s time for the rest of you no-hopers to send all your navys there to open up the straits. If you refuse to join Team Trump, then Trump will nonstop whinge, moan, complain bitterly, then try to start WW3 https://news-pravda.com/world/2026/03/16/2157550.html
Drumpf….!>> of course all of you ignore “The Clique” they will work out how to get us all in.
Did no one notice something called a “Pandemic” it was a grande test where you could earn a Knighthood for jabbing each other.
The Test was clownducted and the results are back to “The Clique” YOU FAILED – they now know this now & they know exactly who will fight & who will send them.
Make sure your kids learn to think on their feet – their lives are going to depend upon it.
My only advice is work on the senders locally now while you still have the chance – they are still there, waiting to send us all off to Armageddon – quietly purge them from your communities if you can or at least dayglo highlight them.
“The Clique” exists in the shadows & it silently runs the whole show – they will not let us escape fighting for them. It’s real not imaginary.
Don’t support any of their activities – they need acceptance of their plans before they will commit. Don’t accept anything from them if you can.
‘The Clique’ are Zionists and are running the show and it’s playbook out of Israel via Unit 8200 and Palantir!
The Mossad has orchestrated a lot of the past horrendous events in order to promote the status of Israel.

What needs to be done? Max Egan gets real, but no one on either side of the Pacific will have the guts to stand-up to the Zionist ilk and put a stop to the Modus Operandi of the Mossad , CIA and MI-6…all operating under the Talmudic Zionist Cabal…
