The US president has “threatened to stop” supplying ⁠weapons for Ukraine to pressure European allies to join a “coalition of ‌the willing” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reports, ⁠quoting people briefed ⁠on the discussions.

According to the report, ⁠Trump threatened ⁠to stop ⁠supplies to NATO’s weapons procurement initiative for ‌Ukraine, which is funded by European countries.

On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Al Jazeera it was “very disappointing” that NATO allies such as Spain blocked the use of their airspace and bases for the US-Israel war on Iran. He warned that Washington will re-examine the value of NATO after the war is over.

Well it's not through iran, it's through international waters, hence why they didn't charge a toll before and now it can be called a bribe

It's shared territorial waters, which is not the same as international waters. Learn what a word means before lecturing others on it.

Okay sorry reading a comment is like a lecture for you

huh??? Are you saying Iran doesn't have jurisdiction over it's half of the strait of hormuz?? Are you perhaps confused with territorial waters??
