Trump begs for help from other countries with Iran: 'This should be a team effort'

By David McAfee
Published March 14, 2026 3:27 PM ET

President Donald Trump called for international cooperation on Iran policy in a Truth Social post, arguing that securing the Strait of Hormuz should be a collective responsibility rather than falling solely on the United States.

Trump claimed that, "The United States of America has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both Militarily, Economically, and in every other way," but emphasized that nations dependent on oil passing through the strategic waterway must share the burden of protecting it.

"The Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage, and we will help — A LOT!" Trump stated, adding that the U.S. would coordinate with these nations to ensure operations proceed "quickly, smoothly, and well."

Donny caused the problem and now he wants other nations that didn’t cause the problem to
come in and help clean up his mess.

The man is a mentally ill psychopath with vascular dementia.

Instead, he whines, bosses everyone around, insults our friends, gives up their intelligence to their enemies, then whines, and intensifies the insults. Not a team player.

...militarily & economically, what is the threat mitigated by the presence of other countries.
First, he didn't write that. No way he knew "militarily" was the appropriate grammar.
Second, whoever did write it doesn't know what "decimated" means.

…before coming to the aid and align with our current government.

If ever there were an impetus to scale their efforts; it would be now.

If Climate Change isn't enough reason to go into real crisis mode, then please consider what could happen if some lunatic American president completely screws up the global supply of oil.
