TRUMP ORDERS CHINA, FRANCE, JAPAN TO DEPLOY WARSHIPS TO STRAIT OF HORMUZ AFTER IRAN'S THREAT

United States President Donald Trump says several countries will deploy warships alongside the US to ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open following Iran’s reported attempt to restrict access to the critical shipping route.

In a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, Trump said nations affected by disruptions in the waterway would join efforts to secure it.

“Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe,” he wrote.

The strategic strait is one of the world’s most important maritime corridors, carrying a significant share of global oil shipments.
