Trump blasts NATO allies, says ‘most’ don’t want to get involved in Iran military operation

President Trump tore into NATO allies on Tuesday over reluctance from “most” of them to get involved in the U.S.-Israeli military operation in Iran.

“The United States has been informed by most of our NATO ‘Allies’ that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump wrote in a lengthy TruthSocial post.

The president noted that he was not surprised by the position of many of the member countries, calling their relationship with the U.S. “a oneway street.”

Trump touted what he said was U.S. success in the operation in terms of the decimation of Iran’s Navy, Air Force, and many government leaders.

“Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!” the president wrote.

Trump has been strongly pushing for an international coalition of countries to work with the U.S. to police the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil shipping lane that Iran closed shortly after the start of the war.

However, Trump has received a less than enthusiastic response from a number of traditional U.S. allies including Australia, Japan, and South Korea.

The president said on Sunday that he’s asked “about seven” countries to join with the U.S. in policing the waterway.
