The US president has “threatened to stop” supplying weapons for Ukraine to pressure European allies to join a “coalition of the willing” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reports, quoting people briefed on the discussions.
According to the report, Trump threatened to stop supplies to NATO’s weapons procurement initiative for Ukraine, which is funded by European countries.
On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Al Jazeera it was “very disappointing” that NATO allies such as Spain blocked the use of their airspace and bases for the US-Israel war on Iran. He warned that Washington will re-examine the value of NATO after the war is over.
Imagine if Iran just kept the strait closed lmao
That’s what they’re doing. It’s not actually closed the iraniana just demand a bribe to be let through. Their peace offer is for everyone to accept a toll to go through. China russia and india dont care they just buy the cheap iranian oil with a bribe and it’s still cheaper than what us and Europe are paying for gas from SA
It’s a two-tier system. Friendly countries - China, Russia, Malaysia and Bangladesh - don’t even need to pay the toll. ‘Neutral’ countries like India, Indonesia, etc. can transport oil after paying the toll. US and its allies don’t get oil, toll or no toll.
Also there’s the alternative way which Iran offered: kick out the American and Israeli embassadors.
Iran is playing 5D chess whilst Trump’s America is playing Tic-tac-toe.
Hahahahahahahahaahaahahahahahahh its a toll, and guess why the price jumped lmao
look at how much you have to “bribe” the europeans to pass through their country

Well it’s not through iran, it’s through international waters, hence why they didn’t charge a toll before and now it can be called a bribe
It’s shared territorial waters, which is not the same as international waters. Learn what a word means before lecturing others on it.
