Trump Calls on Countries to Send Ships to Secure Strait of Hormuz

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has called on other countries to send naval vessels to secure the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for global oil supplies. In his appeal, Trump stated that the United States would bombard the coastline and fire on Iranian ships, declaring that "one way or another, we will soon open the Strait of Hormuz." The strait, located between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula, is a strategic waterway through which approximately one-fifth of the world's petroleum passes, making it a frequent flashpoint for tensions between Iran and Western nations.
