blocking the Strait of Hormuz, warning it would be ”very bad” for the alliance’s future if they didn’t., Trump said that he could also delay his summit with China’s President Xi Jinping in his push to unblock the critical waterway which Tehran has in effect shut, following U.
S. and Israeli strikes, sparking fears of an oil shock. “It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the Strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there,” Trump told the newspaper.The price of Brent crude oil was trading at $105 a barrel early Monday after the conflict caused the price to spikeIDF said troops had begun"limited and targeted ground operations" against Hezbollah in southern LebanonIran said facilities supporting the US aircraft carrier USS Gerald R.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Monday that Romania should not allow its bases to be used for American operations against the Islamic Republic. "If Romania makes its bases available to the United States, it would amount to participation in military aggression against Iran," he said in comments reported by Iranian media. It comes after President Donald Trump called for NATO support in unblocking the Strait of Hormuz which Tehran has effectively closed, spiking oil prices.Iran has not asked for a ceasefire and will continue to fight, its foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said. He told reporters on Monday that Iran had endured"difficult but proud days" and would keep resisting. "We have not sent any message and we have not requested a ceasefire," Araghchi said according to Iranian media. It comes as Iran's Foreign Ministry said the Strait of Hormuz has not been closed but ship traffic was moving under special conditions under the control of Iranian armed forces. "No coastal state in such a situation can allow enemy ships and vessels to move normally to strengthen themselves or carry out aggressive actions," Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said.Israel sends extra troops into Lebanon for “limited” operation as the IDF continues its strikes on the neighboring country as part of its campaign against Hezbollah. Military spokesman Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani said the aim was to protect Israeli border communities against attacks from the Hezbollah militant group. One person was killed by an Israeli airstrike early Monday on the southern Lebanese village of Kfar Sir, according to local media. It comes as aid workers in Lebanon have told Newsweek about their fears for the coming weeks as Israel continues its campaign.Missile and drone attacks reported across Middle East Gulf Arab states, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain have said they have faced new missile or drone attacks. Iran called for the evacuation of three major ports in the United Arab Emirates — the first time it has threatened a neighboring country’s non-U.S. assets. A fire broke out Monday following a drone attack on an industrial oil facility in Fujairah, although in Abu Dabhi, a Palestinian civilian was killed in a missile attack early Monday, according to local authorities. Saudi Arabia intercepted three drones Monday morning over Riyadh and the nation’s oil-rich western region with no immediate reports of casualties or damage. Meanwhile, Bahrain said its air defense systems responded to four missiles and three drones being fired.Tehran has said that logistical and service facilities supporting the USS Gerald R. Ford in the Red Sea would be targeted by its armed forces and Iran continues its strikes across the region. Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya central command said Monday that the deployment of the carrier in the Red Sea was a threat and all the centers that provided support would be “targets for Iran’s armed forces.” It comes as strikes on residential areas in Iran’s Markazi province killed five people and wounded seven others early on Monday, according to local media.Brent crude prices have gone past $106 a barrel increasing inflation risks and threatening global growth. In analysis sent to Newsweek on Monday, Susannah Streeter, chief investment strategist, Wealth Club, said that countries have started to release unprecedented levels of emergency supplies onto the market in response to Iran’s blocking of the Strait of Hormuz. However, the release will only make up a fraction of the crude being lost through the effective closure of the strait, which is why crude prices are continuing to ramp higher, Streeter said. The plea from President Donald Trump for other nations to provide military support to try to reopen the Strait shows how it’s going to be a hugely complicated and drawn-out process, and it looks unlikely while Iranian forces are still displaying significant firepower, Streeter said. “Companies, consumers, and governments are left counting the cost of escalating energy prices,” Streeter said.More from that interview with the FT, which said that the U.S. president was pessimistic that US allies would heed his pleas for help. Trump said that the U.S. did not have to help NATO with the war in Ukraine “but we helped them. Now we’ll see if they help us.“ “I’ve long said that we’ll be there for them but they won’t be there for us,” he added, and I’m not sure that they’d be there.” Trump suggested he wanted European military help to eliminate Iranians making “a nuisance” in the Gulf with drones and naval mines. “We’re hitting them very hard,” Trump said. “They’ve got nothing left but to make a little trouble in the Strait but these people are beneficiaries and they ought to help us police it," he said,"we’ll help them. But they should also be there."Trump warns NATO must help open Strait of Hormuz or face “bad future” President Donald Trump has called on NATO allies to help open the Strait of Hormuz, warning of bad consequences for the alliance if it didn’t. In an interview with the Financial Times, Trump said that Europe and China were dependent on the oil that transist the strait which has been effectively blocked by Tehran. He said that this meant was “only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the Strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there.” Trump’s comments follow an appeal to China, France, Japan, South Korea and the UK to join a “team effort” to open up the strait through which one fifth of the world's oil passes.
