Trump Warns of New Strike on Iran's Oil Export Hub on Kharg Island, Calls on Europe to Ensure Hormuz Navigation
BlockBeats News, March 16th, according to the Financial Times, reported that Trump warned that if US allies do not assist in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, NATO will face a "very bad" future. "Those who benefit from the strait should help ensure that nothing bad happens there. Europe is highly dependent on oil from the Gulf region, unlike the United States. If there is no response, or the response is negative, I think the future of NATO will be very bad."
When asked what kind of help he needed, Trump replied, "Any necessary help." He added that allies should send minesweepers, and Europe has far more minesweepers than the US. He hoped Europe would send commandos or other military forces to eliminate Iranians who cause "trouble" in the Gulf using drones and mines. Trump also warned that the US is prepared to launch new strikes against Iran's oil export hub, Kharg Island, and may target its oil infrastructure.
