That way, once hostilities have ceased, and don't re-initiate, each side can be sure their shipping is going through and maintain a complete and accurate count and identification for verification that transit through the strait is not being violated.

If Trump wants NATO to supply troops and ships to the Gulf, Rutte should tell him NATO will match Israel 1equivalent ship and 1 pax for every 2 Israeli ships and 2 pax. And, the US must also have ships leading the way in the strait. After all, they started the conflict without consulting NATO. And, Iran has consistently agreed to allow all non-US and non-Israeli ships through the strait.

NATO troops will not join in any ground invasion of Iran.

Also, If Israel or the US start bombing while NATO ships are present, NATO craft will withdraw.

And, Israel has to pay for NATO participation and any rebuilding of Iran, Lebanon, or Gulf state damage that has been inflicted thus far. Based upon initial estimates for each, money must be deposited into one EU controlled fund for the NATO participation, and a UN controlled fund for the rebuilding prior to any commitment from NATO.

And if Israel does not maintain it's agreement for rebuilding funds, or violates any treaty and continues bombing, NATO will immediately withdraw, The EU nations will sanction Israel, and No EU nation will support or fund anything in Israel EVER AGAIN.
