Trump tried to strangle Iran with a noose now tigtening around his own neck.

Trump pinned Iran to the wall and practically forced it, for its own survival, to block the key global transport artery. He now demands that other countries such as the UK, Germany and China engage in solving the problem in the form of an assault on Iran. Such phenomenal cheek is a political characteristic of Donald Trump.

Iran has Trump by the throat. America's allies refused to send naval vessels to help Trump in the Strait of Hormuz. Why should they when US Navy ships are lurking at a safe distance like scared dogs?
