President Donald Trump has announced plans to secure the Strait of Hormuz by seeking warships from other countries to protect global oil shipping routes from Iranian threats, aiming to disrupt decades-long use of the chokepoint in the Middle East. Trump has been lobbying allies and neighboring nations to deploy troops and equipment to safeguard against potential attacks on international vessels. The move comes as tensions between Iran and the US have escalated following a series of targeted strikes on oil tankers and other vessels.
