Nations to meet on Strait of Hormuz as Trump calls for others to 'take the lead'
"Countries that refuse to get involved in the decapitation of Iran should build up some delayed courage and secure the waterway. Should have done it before, should have done it with us, as we asked."
"The hard part is done, so it should be easy. Go to the strait and just take it, protect it, use it for yourselves."
"This will not be easy. The meeting is aimed at assessing diplomatic and political ways to make the strait accessible and safe after the fighting has ended."
Officials from more than 30 countries are convening to address the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial oil supply route affected by the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. President Trump emphasized that other nations must take responsibility for protecting the strait, suggesting the U.S. will not lead the effort. He urged countries to secure the waterway, while British Prime Minister Starmer acknowledged the challenges ahead in making the strait safe and accessible post-conflict.
