Trump to Press NATO on Hormuz Shipping Security
Current July 6 Israel-time reporting says President Donald Trump will use this week's NATO summit in Ankara to press allies on protecting maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. RFE/RL, Ynetnews and Daily News Egypt all cite a White House preview saying allies have signaled willingness to participate, but many lack the ships or assets needed for a meaningful naval operation. Daily News Egypt adds that Iran is using the fragile ceasefire to improve combat readiness, while RFE/RL notes the strait carries roughly a fifth of global oil exports. Israel should welcome allied burden-sharing that keeps Tehran from turning a vital energy artery into coercive leverage.
