The US president has appealed to China and several other nations to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz
The US security umbrella promised to American allies in the Middle East has proven to be "full of holes," Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said, after President Donald Trump called for a broad international response to Tehran's retaliatory attacks.
The top Iranian diplomat called on neighboring states hosting U.S. military bases to "expel foreign aggressors," claiming that American forces are "inviting rather than deterring trouble."
President Trump demanded earlier in the day that China, Japan, and other nations relying on oil shipments through the strategic Strait of Hormuz deploy their naval units to protect maritime traffic from Iranian strikes.
Trump simultaneously claimed that Iran had been "totally decapitated" and its military capability had been "destroyed 100%" - yet admitted it was still "easy" for Tehran to send a "drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close-range missile" against shipping.
