President Donald Trump has intensified his call for an international coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blocked by Iranian attacks since the outbreak of hostilities in February. So far, nations such as the United Kingdom, France, Japan, South Korea, and China have responded cautiously, refraining from committing warships or troops.

Background of the Conflict

Strait of Hormuz: A strategic maritime passage through which nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply flows. Its closure has immediate repercussions on global energy markets.

Crisis onset: Iran began targeting commercial vessels in February 2026, halting the transit of oil tankers.

U.S. response: Trump declared that American forces have “destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability” and vowed the strait will be “open, safe, and free.”

Trump’s Appeal

On Truth Social, Trump explicitly urged China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom to join efforts.

He argued that “countries benefiting from Gulf oil must help liberate it.”

He warned that the U.S. “will remember” which nations stand with Washington and which do not.

International Reactions

United Kingdom: Trump sharply criticized Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government for refusing to involve NATO in the operation.

NATO and European allies: reluctant to deploy naval forces, wary of escalating into direct confrontation with Iran.

China and Japan: cautious, balancing their heavy energy dependence with reluctance to commit militarily.

Global Impact

Energy markets: Oil prices have surged, creating uncertainty across Asia and Europe.

Maritime security: Several vessels have been damaged in recent attacks, raising concerns among insurers and shipping companies.

Diplomacy: Trump told NBC News that Iran is “ready to negotiate a ceasefire,” though Tehran has not issued an official confirmation.

Trump’s call underscores Washington’s urgency to secure a maritime route vital to the global economy. Yet the lack of immediate support from allies and rivals highlights the geopolitical complexity: no nation wants to risk direct confrontation with Iran, even as all depend on the oil that flows through Hormuz.
