US President Donald Trump on Monday talked about taking the cost of security of the Strait of Hormuz from other countries. He said that America should give money to those countries which did not help America in the ongoing conflict with Iran.
Trump said on Truth Social that the supply of oil from the Strait of Hormuz is still continuing. According to him, America has been working more for other countries than for its own interests for many generations.
Trump said, the countries of the world that did not help us at all, they should pay America when this crisis is over and they will do so.
Trump had asked for help from 7 countries
According to Reuters, on March 16, 2026, Trump had said that America contacted 7 countries for the security of Hormuz. Although he did not reveal the names of those countries.
Earlier in a social media post, he had expressed hope that China, France, Japan, South Korea and Britain will support America in the security of Hormuz.
Trump held Biden responsible for inflation in America
On Truth Social, Trump held former President Joe Biden responsible for rising prices and oil prices in America. He said that his government is not responsible for inflation.
Trump said- Iran wants to reach an agreement soon
Trump also said that Iran wants to negotiate with the US and is trying to reach an agreement soon.
Trump made it clear that he will decide whether America will talk to Iran or not.
Referring to the ongoing conflict with Iran, he said that the countries which are benefiting from the movement of oil through Hormuz should also bear the cost of its security.
America attacked 5 oil tankers of Iran
On September 8, the US Army attacked 5 oil tankers belonging to Iran. A few hours later, Iran fired 20 ballistic missiles towards the US military base in Jordan.
According to the US Central Command, Iran had attacked the US Navy warship. In response, the US attacked oil tankers belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
After the US attack, Iran claimed to have attacked 10 ships in the Strait of Hormuz. These included 2 American ships and 8 oil tankers. Iran also claimed to have captured an American sub-marine drone.
Ship movement through the Strait of Hormuz decreased
At present the Strait of Hormuz is not completely closed, but the movement of ships here has become much less than normal. According to Reuters, in the report dated September 15, 2026, only 4 commodity ships were reported to have passed through Hormuz on Monday, whereas the number was 10 the day before.
Before the war started, about 125 ships passed through this route every day. These figures are based on preliminary ship-tracking data from Kpler. Some ships may pass through with AIS turned off, so the actual number may be higher.
