Quick Summary​

President Trump said that “many countries”—including China, France, Japan, South Korea and Britain—would send warships alongside the U.S. to keep the Strait of Hormuz open amidst Iran’s threats, though no commitments have been confirmed. Shipping remains largely halted due to mine, missile and drone

March 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that many countries would send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, but did not provide details on which countries would do so.

Could be wishful thinking on Trump’s part......
How many of those countries want to deal with the Iranian fallout,
should they get involved...... or the ramifications of terrorist activity in their homelands?

Its in the global interest for countries to send warships. Also, I suspect Trump has leverage on many to use, to force their moves to send ships.

Probably showing my ignorance here, but would it be possible for the UAE to construct a canal on their side similar to the Panama Canal for container ships to by-pass the Iranian side of the Straights of Hormuz.

From X:

Oil tankers are shifting to the Saudi pipeline-fed oil access in the Red Sea. And as others have pointed out, the vaunted Houthis are doing nothing to stop it.

How very interesting.

Saudi Arabia built a 1,200 kilometer pipeline from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea.Quietly. While everyone else depended on Hormuz.

The hedge was built forty-five years before it was needed.

Iran has made a statement that any country are free to access the Hormuz Strait except for Israel and US.

Any country except for US and Israel can pass through Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Foreign Minister says​

Any country except for US and Israel can pass through Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Foreign Minister says

All countries other than the US and Israel can have their ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s top diplomat said Saturday.

But I think in seeing how Iran has been striking their own Arab neighbors, Iran cant be trusted, which is true.

I dont think the other countries are getting involved as a support to the US, nor has Trump pulled them into it, rather its in their own interest of their economic security that they are getting involved

Top 5 countries reliant on the Strait of Hormuz for oil imports​

The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most critical arteries of the global energy system. Nearly 20 percent of global oil consumption and about a quarter of the world’s seaborne liquefied natural gas (LNG) pass through the narrow waterway each day.

I think NATO has become too Islamized to help the U.S. against Iran.

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that the Trump administration plans to announce this week that several countries have agreed to form a naval coalition to escort commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

However, the rejections rolling in Monday raise questions about which countries have agreed to participate.

"What does ... Donald Trump expect a handful or two handfuls of European frigates to do in the Strait of Hormuz that the powerful U.S. navy cannot do?" German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said in Berlin on Monday, as he downplayed threats by Trump that failing to come to Washington's aid could have consequences for the NATO alliance.

"This is not our war, we have not started it," he added.

Lots of countries make public statements contrary to what they say in secure meetings with POTUS.

 

[KMendel]

And, lots of countries are fed up with American leadership.......... especially when they have blown off the importance of
NATO and the UN - and other country's soveriegnty (sp?). You can't bad mouth people and then expect them to come to your
aid when things go south. That is why diplomacy and tact are so important...... but, non-existent in our current political landscape.

 

[Margery]

At the end of the day no matter what the individual countries and leaders do or don't do, they will do what God wants in this hour for His purposes.

If we are seeing Jer 49 and Ezek 32 prophecies about Elam, then the implication is that according to Jer 49:36

36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

---the opposing armed forces come from all over the globe. Then the survivors will be scattered in all those directions.

 

[Margery]

and if this is just more stage setting, not the Elam prophecies, then it will go according to God's will for that purpose.

Obama was very diplomatic, how did that work out?

Show me anything good the UN has done in regards to any global conflict?

Many countries depend on what the US provides for them in regards to their security. Trump just likes to remind them what we do, and its no longer a free ride for them.

Diplomacy did not stop Iran with either Obama or Biden. What works is a big fist.

Trump does have a big, mostly uncontrolled mouth, but he gets those cowardly world leaders to pay attention.

Yeah Mr Spanish inquisition himself ( UN leader) latest effort was pitful in relation to going over to Lebanon like Oliver , "Oh please Sir please stop the bombs ............."

 

[Tall Timbers]

Trump, by acting, has shown how absolutely worthless the UN is.

Listening to French news (France 24 in English) - YouTube and the consensus across Britain and the EU is to say a firm big NO to sending ships at present, but they are holding a big meeting Thursday to discuss it further and maybe change their minds.

They don't trust Trump to keep any promises that he makes so they are looking out for themselves. They may consider it if food prices and gas prices continue to soar. Both points mentioned in that news piece.

You may not agree with their reasoning, but that is what is actually going thru their collective heads as they decide. Germany is the most vocal along with Britain, but France Spain and Italy are in agreement.

By Thursday who knows what they'll decide, and who knows what will still be going on. Trump is quite capable of pulling something unexpected out of the bag between now and then.

So far I don't see the Elam prophecies going ahead, this seems like more stage setting than anything else based on the reluctance of other countries to join in, combined with the anger from some of the nearby muslim nations being impacted by Iranian activity. Some of whom are allied with Elam in the Ezek 32 prophecies.

The globalists told us there would be an economic crisis in 2026 and since they pull most of the strings they're often correct. Many of the European leaders are part of that cabal so those in particular may be trying to use this war against Iran to their globalist advantage. Globalists won't care how expensive or difficult to get oil becomes. They won't care how much the people in their respective countries might suffer as a result of them pulling strings for their anti-humanity agenda.
