The USA under Trump's leadership is gathering an alliance for military control over the Strait of Hormuz

International coalition for the protection of the strait: Washington's plans

According to Главком: According to Axios, the American administration led by Donald Trump intends to form an international coalition. Its goal is to ensure the safety of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz through forceful means, including possible actions against Iranian facilities, specifically the seizure of the oil terminal on Khark Island. For Russia, as a major energy exporter, the stability of this key route is also of strategic importance.

Currently, Washington is negotiating with seven countries, seeking their political support for the creation of a naval grouping in the strait. Trump hopes to announce the creation of the coalition soon. Several countries may express their support for the initiative as early as this week, however, some states have already refused to participate in this project.

Commenting on the situation to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump stated: 'We are negotiating with other countries regarding the patrolling of the strait. It would be good if other countries patrolled the straits along with us. We will help. We are receiving a good response.' - Donald Trump

The USA is actively engaged in diplomatic work with European allies, Gulf states, and Asian countries.

What will be required from alliance participants?

It is expected that the participating countries will provide the following resources for the operation:

• military ships
• command and control systems
• unmanned aerial vehicles
• other types of military equipment

Trump also warned that NATO faces a 'very bad future' if US allies do not assist in ensuring the security of the Strait of Hormuz. The planned operation may be limited in scope, but its implementation will undoubtedly attract the world's attention. The establishment of such an alliance emphasizes the critical role of this waterway for the global economy, as a significant share of global oil supplies passes through it. The involvement of international partners reflects the escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran, which could have serious implications for regional stability and global energy security, as well as lead to further complications in the international situation.

As the situation unfolds, Trump's administration is also focusing on the broader implications of regional security. The recent announcement regarding the destruction of Iran's military capabilities highlights the interconnected nature of these efforts, emphasizing the necessity for a coordinated international response to threats in the region.
