Trump: Allies' Lack of Support for Strait of Hormuz Security Would Be 'Bad' for NATO

US President Donald Trump stated that the United States and Israel have largely aligned goals in the event of a war with Iran, while acknowledging some differences. He emphasized the close coordination of the two countries' military forces and mentioned the supply of American weapons systems to Israel. Simultaneously, he warned NATO allies that they would face a 'very bad' future if they do not assist in securing the Strait of Hormuz, requesting aid including mine-sweeping vessels. Trump noted he has received 'some positive responses' from countries regarding the Strait's security, but some governments are hesitant to get involved.
