The United States warned of the consequences of Washington's attempt to open the Strait of Hormuz.

The US armed Forces will not be able to easily achieve the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. This was announced on March 16 by retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis of the American Army.

"The truth is that we have serious problems because of the combat plan chosen by the president [of the United States Donald Trump], since there is no option for opening the straits militarily, which we can afford in a time frame that makes it possible to avoid serious negative consequences," Davis wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

According to him, Trump prematurely declared victory over Iran. He cited the example of reports from the Israeli Armed Forces about Iranian missile launches, as well as requests from the American leader to other countries to send warships to help in the Strait of Hormuz.

On the same day, the head of the European Diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, said that the EU foreign ministers would discuss sending warships to the Strait of Hormuz. She added that the closure of the strait is dangerous for the EU due to a reduction in fertilizer supplies, which could lead to food shortages in Europe next year.

The Wall Street Journal reported on March 15 that the US presidential administration plans to announce the formation of a coalition to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz blocked by Iran.
