After days of delay, complaint, and indecision, six nations have committed to helping the United States patrol the Strait of Hormuz, preventing the Iranian regime from closing the economically key waterway.
President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform shared an alert on Thursday, and the governments themselves issued a joint statement confirming the important shift in open opposition to the terrorist Iranian regime during the joint U.S.-Israeli Operation Epic Fury. Japan and five European allies of the USA will finally do their fair share in the Strait, which is actually more important for their economies and energy supply than for ours.
Besides Japan, the countries that are now stating their “readiness” to assist in patrolling the Strait of Hormuz are Great Britain, Italy, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. “We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces,” the countries explained in the joint statement.
