US President Donald Trump has expressed confidence that the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz will soon be brought under control, even as NATO allies are not expected to participate in the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
Speaking on the situation, Trump said efforts to secure the vital waterway were progressing rapidly. “It won’t be, I don’t believe, too long. We’re knocking the hell out of the coast. It’s basically the coast and the water. And it won’t be too long,” he stated, without offering a clear timeline or specific details on the strategy being employed.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global النفط transit route, through which a significant portion of the world’s oil supply passes, making its security a key international concern.
Trump also acknowledged the role of regional partners in the effort, singling out Israel for its support. “The Middle Eastern states, including Israel, who has been terrific, have been helping us a lot,” he said.
Earlier, the US President had called on allied nations to contribute to safeguarding the waterway, underlining its importance to global energy security. However, with NATO countries unlikely to join the operation, the United States appears to be relying heavily on regional cooperation to address the situation.
The developments come amid heightened tensions in the region, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a focal point due to its strategic and economic significance.
