In a social media post, former U.S. President Trump criticized NATO allies for their perceived lack of support in the ongoing U.S.-Israel war against Iran, which began on February 28th. Trump stated that NATO is a "paper tiger" without the United States. He called on NATO countries to assist in securing the Strait of Hormuz, controlled by Iran, claiming this would alleviate high oil prices. Trump asserted that the military conflict is won with little danger to NATO countries, and labeled them "cowards" for not participating in opening the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that the U.S. will remember their inaction. The conflict has reportedly disrupted global markets, resulted in thousands of deaths, and displaced millions.
