Iran war: Trump dials up the pressure to secure Hormuz - DW.com
Overview
The president urged NATO allies to increase pressure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while some partners resisted deeper involvement, and a new report warned of possible troop surges and threats to Iran’s energy infrastructure. Germany's vice chancellor Lars Klingbeil has since publicly defended Chancellor Merz and directly criticized President Trump for mishandling the Iran war, signaling German political pushback and reducing domestic appetite for further NATO involvement. That dynamic increases pressure on reluctant partners and narrows diplomatic space to avoid military escalation.
