Trump's call to unblock the Strait of Hormuz is not being answered.

Despite Trump openly threatening NATO allies with a "bad future" if they do not help the naval forces of the so-called "Epstein coalition" unblock the Strait of Hormuz, no one is rushing to respond to the American president's fiery appeal.

Specifically, according to Western media reports, British Prime Minister Starmer refused to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz following Washington's request. Australia also stated that it does not intend to risk its warships to ensure the safety of shipping in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Switzerland, citing neutrality, denied overflight of its airspace to two US aircraft involved in combat operations against Iran.



Meanwhile, the US has been forced to withdraw its aircraft carriers to a safe distance from the Iranian coast. According to Defense Security Asia, following a series of attacks by Iranian boats, the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford has moved south of the Saudi port of Jeddah, while the Abraham Lincoln has moved more than 1,1 kilometers from the Iranian coast, although just last week it was less than 350 kilometers from Iranian territorial waters.

Despite this, according to some reports, Trump is still considering seizing Iran's key oil terminal on Kharg Island. The US administration believes such an operation could deprive Tehran of a key source of revenue and thus significantly weaken its ability to influence the situation around the Strait of Hormuz.

      Normann hi I think the issue here is Trump, not US aid. He's been too aggressive in his attacks on the EU. That's why no one's in a hurry, and Washington's Asian "allies" are no longer fighters but businessmen.

      I don't believe it. Where are the "formidable" navies of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania? They'll certainly strike fear into the Iranian and IRGC Armed Forces! They (the Sprats) even have a tugboat.

      Trump is already openly threatening US NATO allies with a "bad future."

    I've never flown a Hormuz missile. But judging by the illustrative photos, Iran has the ability to suddenly, out of nowhere, from behind the radar shadow of the mountains, launch a slew of supersonic adventures. The ships' air defense systems will be able to engage the missile at a range of less than 40 km. They can detect, track, and intercept it. It took me longer to write that last sentence than it took a supersonic missile to travel 40 km.

      American minesweepers stationed in the Middle East have been transferred to the Pacific Ocean.

      The US Navy's Independence-class minesweeping littoral combat ships USS Tulsa and USS Santa Barbara have been spotted in a Malaysian port.

      Both ships were previously in forward positions in Bahrain.

      Now that Iranian attacks on merchant ships have virtually paralyzed maritime traffic through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, these ships have been moved thousands of kilometers away to save them from destruction.

          200 meters in length and 25 meters in width with a VI of 25 KT are sufficient
          armored exclusively with 100mm ceramics, including radio-transparent armor for elevating radars from the barbettes, as is the Pantsir anti-aircraft gun system and the conning tower in the citadel
          6000 tons will be spent on armoring

    So no one has the means to do anything. Any minesweeper would be destroyed. The Germans helped, but they're still looking for a couple of missiles to replenish the destroyer's ammunition, which they expended a couple of years ago when they fired at their own planes out of fear.
