US President Donald Trump on Wednesday raised thepossibility of further action against Iran, questioning whether Washingtonshould “finish off what’s left of the Iranian terror state” and allow countriesdependent on the Strait of Hormuz for energy shipments to assume a largersecurity role.

    In a post on Truth Social, Trump suggested that astronger role by US partners could prompt allies to move “in gear, and fast” tosafeguard the strategic corridor.

    Earlier, Trump argued that the United States hasalready “decimated” Iran militarily and economically, emphasizing that nationsmost affected by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz should take greaterresponsibility for protecting maritime traffic.

    The Strait of Hormuz handles about 20% of global oilshipments and roughly 4.5% of world trade. Iranian restrictions have slowedmaritime traffic and pushed oil prices above $104 per barrel.
