In a post shared on his social media platform Truth Social on Saturday, Trump claimed that Iran’s military strength has already been severely weakened. However, he warned that the country could still disrupt shipping using drones, sea mines, or short-range missiles.

Call for International Naval Support

Trump urged several nations, including China, Japan, and the United Kingdom, to send warships to the region. According to him, a coordinated naval presence would help keep the waterway open and ensure a steady flow of global oil supplies.

He also stated that U.S. forces would continue targeting Iranian boats and vessels near the coastline, adding that the United States would take whatever steps necessary to restore safe navigation through the strait.

Background: Blockade After Regional Attacks

The statement comes after Iran reportedly restricted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz in response to attacks it blamed on the United States and Israel. The move has significantly disrupted maritime activity in the region.

Why the Strait of Hormuz Matters

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important energy corridors. Nearly 20 percent of global oil shipments pass through the narrow channel each year. On average, around 3,000 vessels travel through the strait every month.

In 2025 alone, about 20 million barrels of oil per day moved through this route, used by major oil- and gas-producing nations across the Middle East.

A Narrow but Critical Passage

Geographically, the strait lies between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula, with the United Arab Emirates and Oman bordering the southern side. Despite being only about 54 kilometers (34 miles) wide, it remains a lifeline for global energy trade.

Recent security threats have slowed shipping in the area, raising concerns about potential energy shortages and pushing oil prices higher worldwide. As a result, pressure is mounting on the United States and its allies to stabilize the situation and keep the vital route open.

The White House said the administration is working closely with its economic and energy teams to mitigate the economic impact of the conflict. Leavitt said, ‘With respect to oil prices and the domestic economy, certainly, this is an issue that the National Economic Energy Council, led by Finance Minister Scott Besant, Energy Minister Chris Wright and Doug Burgum, has worked on for a long time.’
