Trump asks China, France, others to help keep Strait of Hormuz open amid war in Iran
Mar 15, 2026
President Trump called on countries like the U.K., France, South Korea, Japan and even China to help keep the Strait of Hormuz open as Iran tries to strangle the flow of oil from the region. Charlie D'Agata reports.

Na bro. I think hes looking for a face saving experience. Iran wont come to the table unless guarantees are given and Israel cant allow him to do that.With Trump essentially doubling down, I wonder if he's actually stupid enough to start a land war in Iran.
If he is, then American power in the region is basically finished.
You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately this won't change the Iranian relationship with India in the slightest.
Pakistan too needs to be very realistic regarding Iran's limitations versus Pakistan just as Iran is well aware of Pakistani limitations versus Iran. In reality, both of us belong in different camps and we have chosen our side. Notwithstanding that Pakistan will support Iran during this incredibly bloody war. The majority of the people of Pakistan fully support Iran. No questions asked.

he is an ex-serviceman and belongs to military family and background
only taking time to recover, very unlike him, to hide in a time of war
I don't think they have that many submunitions. But Iran is having trouble deploying the firepower. Airspace is dominated by US and Israeli jets making it difficult to move missile launchers around and fire them, without coming under attack.Would like to see if they can send several of the cluster missiles and have those bases peppered with shrapnel. Something like 400-500 submunitions landing on the base (5-6 missiles) might be the best way to take them out of service temporarily as they try to clean up the area. I don't know if you can disable the entire base for long with just missile barrages though, but possibly keep them out of service for a week or two and then repeat.
