U.S. President Donald Trump called on allies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, which has effectively disrupted about a fifth of global oil supply.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, that President Donald Trump, in his social media post, mentioned reaching out to seven countries, including China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the UK to participate.

Responses from key countries:

- Japan does not currently plan to dispatch naval vessels; Prime Minister Takaichi stated that "We have not made any decisions whatsoever about dispatching escort ships. We are continuing to examine what Japan can do independently and what can be done within the legal framework."

- Australia – Will not send ships to assist in reopening the strait.

"We won't be sending a ship to the Strait of Hormuz. We know how incredibly important that is, but that's not something that we've been asked or that we're contributing to," Catherine King, a member of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's cabinet stated.

- South Korea – Considering the proposal; any deployment requires parliamentary approval.

"We will communicate closely with the U.S. regarding this matter and make a decision after careful review," South Korea's presidential office said on Sunday.

- Britain – PM Keir Starmer declined to commit forces, emphasizing a non-NATO approach and avoiding escalation.

"We are working with others to come up with a credible plan for the Strait of ‌Hormuz to ⁠ensure that we can reopen shipping and passage through the Strait. Let me be clear, that won't be and it's never been envisioned to be a NATO mission," he told reporters.

- Germany – Defence and Foreign Ministers rejected involvement, citing limited benefit and skepticism about EU missions securing the strait.

"What does Trump expect from a handful of European frigates that the powerful U.S. Navy cannot do? This is not our war, we have not started it," Pistorius said.

- Italy, Greece – Will not participate in military operations; Italy stresses diplomacy.

- European Union – EU foreign ministers may discuss expanding the Aspides mission, but it is unlikely to cover the Strait.

- Denmark – Encourages a realistic approach but no commitment to military participation.
