The United States is asking other countries to help make the Strait of Hormuz safe. This waterway is very important for moving oil and goods around the world.
This call for help comes amid a continuing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. The conflict has been going on for seventeen days and is causing problems with the economy and stability in the region.
President Donald Trump is leading the effort to get more countries to agree to work together. The goal is to ensure ships can pass through the Strait of Hormuz without danger.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow channel that connects the Persian Gulf to the open sea. Many countries rely on it for shipping and trade.
