President Donald Trump called on several major powers to help secure the Strait of Hormuz as shipping through the vital waterway remains heavily disrupted amid the war involving Iran.

In posts on Truth Social Saturday, Trump said the United States would coordinate with countries that rely heavily on energy shipments through the narrow channel linking the Persian Gulf to the open ocean.

Trump specifically named China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom as nations that should contribute naval forces to safeguard the route.

“We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close-range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are,” Trump wrote.

In a second post, Trump said the United States had “completely decimated” Iran’s military and argued that protecting the strait should be a shared international effort. He said Washington would work with allied countries to reopen the shipping route as quickly as possible.

The comments came a day after Trump said U.S. forces had bombed military installations on Kharg Island, a major Iranian oil export hub in the Persian Gulf. He warned on Friday that oil facilities on the island could become targets if Iran continues attempting to block the Strait of Hormuz.

According to data from the United Nations, traffic through the waterway has fallen by roughly 97 percent since the conflict began on Feb. 28.

The strait is one of the most strategically important shipping lanes in the world, carrying a significant share of global oil and liquefied natural gas exports.
