He expressed confidence that several countries would cooperate with the United States in sending warships to the region.
Coordination with Allies for Maritime Security

According to him, the effort should become a collective international mission aimed at restoring stability, security, and peace in the region.
He also said that the Strait of Hormuz would soon be reopened and secured, ensuring that global shipping and energy supplies continue without disruption.
The situation surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and Trump’s call for countries to send warships to the Persian Gulf is now being closely watched worldwide as governments assess their response to the developing geopolitical tensions.
