Iran | Donald Trump asks the rest of the allied countries to open the Strait of Hormuz: “The most complicated thing has already been done”

“To all those countries that cannot get aviation fuel due to (the closure of) androof de Ormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the beheading of IranI have a suggestion for you: First, buy (oil) from the United States, we have plenty; and number two, find some late courage and go to the straits and TAKE IT,” assured Trump this morning on the social network.

Trump suggested that, after starting the military offensive against Iran along with Israel and without consulting his allies, The United States has no interest in opening the Strait of Hormuzwhich Tehran has closed to important maritime traffic from the Persian Gulf, because it is less exposed to crude oil coming from that region.

“Iran has already been essentially annihilated. The hardest part has already been done. Go get your oil,” Trump recommended, in a message that can also be read as a warning to its NATO allies or in Asia, increasingly affected by the stoppage of the flow of oil, liquefied gas and other essential raw materials from the Middle East.

“You have to learn to fight for yourselves. The United States of America is not going to be there to help you anymore, just as it was not there when we needed it.”Trump lamented.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt recalled this Monday that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is not part of the main objectives of the military offensive of more than a month against Iran, which Washington is carrying out jointly with Israel, since the priority is to end the naval, missile and nuclear development capabilities of the Tehran regime.

Trump has reiterated several times that the United States is not meeting most of its energy needs from the Persian Gulf and although it was he who decided together with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to start this war against Iran, it is now up to the rest of the countries to carry out the complex and risky task of militarily forcing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz with attacks on oil tankers and only allowed some tankers to pass near its coasts as a tactic to exert global economic pressure during the conflict.which has led the barrel of oil to exceed $100 and put the world on the brink of an unprecedented economic and energy crisis.
