Washington: Donald Trump is reportedly pushing for an international coalition to secure and reopen safe maritime movement through the Strait of Hormuz amid rising tensions with Iran.
According to sources familiar with the discussions, the proposal involves allied nations contributing naval assets to escort commercial vessels and deter potential threats in the region. The move comes as attacks on shipping routes and heightened military activity have raised concerns over global energy supplies.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes, and any disruption could trigger sharp increases in crude prices and impact economies worldwide. The United States has been in talks with partners across Europe and Asia to coordinate efforts aimed at maintaining open sea lanes.
Iran has previously warned against foreign military presence in the region, cautioning that such actions could escalate the situation further. Analysts say the formation of a coalition could either stabilize the route or risk intensifying geopolitical tensions, depending on how it is implemented.
Global leaders have urged diplomatic solutions alongside security measures to prevent a broader conflict, as the situation continues to evolve.
