Trump urges other countries to send warships to open Hormuz Strait in a 'team effort'

Washington, Mar 15 (UNI) US President Donald Trump urged all countries affected by the closure of Strait of Hormuz to send their ships to Persian Gulf and in a ''team effort,'' help the US to open the strategic Strait. Paradoxically, Trump claimed that the US had beaten and ''completely decimated'' Iran and ''destroyed 100 per cent'' of Iran's military capability.
He hoped that China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this ''artificial constraint'', will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a nation that has been ''totally decapitated'', Trump said.
He said The US has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both militarily, economically, and in every other way, but the countries of the world that receive oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage.
