President Trump is asking other countries to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. This waterway is very important for ships carrying oil.
The conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran has been going on for 17 days. This has made the region unstable and affected trade.
The US wants to make sure ships can pass through the strait safely. This is a critical point for global energy supplies.
International partners are being consulted to create a plan. Details of firm commitments are not yet public.
