【Some have proposed using nuclear bombs to blast a new Strait of Hormuz】 Some people in the United States have proposed detonating dozens of nuclear bombs in the UAE to "blast out" a new Strait of Hormuz. This idea was put forward by a former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
At the same time, most countries have refused to join the U.S.-led naval alliance in the Strait of Hormuz to "protect shipping safety," fearing that the conflict with Iran could escalate further.
The main reactions of countries to Trump's attempt to form an alliance and dispatch ships to the Strait of Hormuz are as follows:
— The UK provided only symbolic support: London said it could provide drones for searching sea mines, but did not indicate that it was prepared to deploy large-scale naval forces.
— Germany and Norway took a very cautious stance, emphasizing that issues should be resolved through diplomatic mechanisms and abide by international law.
— Japan refused to participate, citing practical difficulties in deploying ships to the region.
— Italy and Australia participated in related discussions but did not take on specific obligations.
— India also did not join this initiative because it is currently conducting separate negotiations with Iran and is responsible for escorting oil tankers on its own.
In general, the range of countries willing to participate in this operation is very limited. America's allies are not eager to get directly involved in potential conflicts in the Strait of Hormuz area, preferring to resolve issues through diplomatic means or provide only symbolic support rather than substantive military involvement.
