Washington support: Trump affirms no help needed to secure the Strait of Hormuz, war revealed NATO’s stance, and strong Middle East backing

U.S. President Donald Trump said that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) made a «stupid mistake» in its approach to Iran, describing the current conflict as a «test for the alliance», and noting that the United States had received strong backing from Middle Eastern countries in its recent actions.

In remarks to reporters at the White House, Trump stated that the U.S. does not need any assistance regarding the security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing Washington’s ability to manage the situation independently.

He added that U.S. strikes had prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, stressing that it cannot be allowed to develop such capabilities, while highlighting the strong support from Middle Eastern countries for the United States’ recent actions.
