The United States is calling for help to secure the Strait of Hormuz. This is a very important route for ships carrying oil.
President Donald Trump is talking to other countries to get their support. He wants them to work together to keep the waterway safe.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow passage that connects the Persian Gulf to the open sea. Many oil tankers use this route every day.
There has been fighting between the United States, Israel, and Iran for seventeen days. This conflict has caused problems with the economy and stability in the region.
Securing the Strait is important to ensure that oil can continue to flow smoothly to other countries.
