The United States is asking for help to make the Strait of Hormuz safe. This is happening as fighting continues between the US, Israel, and Iran.
President Trump is leading the effort to get other countries to support this goal. The Strait of Hormuz is a very important passage for ships carrying oil.
Its security is vital for the world's economy. Disruptions there can cause prices to rise for everyday goods.
The conflict has been going on for 17 days. It has caused worries about the economy and peace in the region.
No countries have made firm promises yet to help secure the strait. Discussions are expected to continue.
