Sharp criticism of NATO

Trump sharply criticized NATO, calling its refusal to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz “a very stupid mistake.” He also indicated that this stance could negatively impact the nature of the partnership between the two sides. He added that Washington is capable of escorting ships and securing maritime routes, and asserted that no external support is needed.

Statements regarding operations in Iran

The US president confirmed that his country has not yet withdrawn from military operations inside Iran, but is moving toward ending them in the near future. He also indicated that the strikes targeted key military capabilities, including the navy and air force. In addition, he stated that they targeted senior leaders.

Tensions with Britain and Europe

Trump expressed his disappointment with the stances of some European allies, particularly Britain, criticizing Prime Minister Keir Starmer for not supporting the American operations. He also indicated that he had expected European participation, such as sending minesweepers. He considered the current positions to reflect a divergence of views between Washington and its allies.
