On March 14, Trump appealed to countries that depend on oil supplied through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the safety of this transport route. In addition, he noted that a number of countries have plans to send warships to ensure the safety of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump also called on Britain, China, South Korea, France and Japan to support such an effort.

A representative of the central headquarters of the Iranian armed forces, Khatam al-Anbiya, said on March 15 that Iran was ready to use any methods, including monitoring the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, to force the enemy to surrender.

Die Welt newspaper reported on March 15 that the Iranian leadership reacted ironically to Trump's call for countries that receive oil through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the safety of this important trade route.
