President Donald Trump called for international cooperation on Iran policy in a Truth Social post, arguing that securing the Strait of Hormuz should be a collective responsibility rather than falling solely on the United States.
Trump claimed that, "The United States of America has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both Militarily, Economically, and in every other way," but emphasized that nations dependent on oil passing through the strategic waterway must share the burden of protecting it.
"The Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage, and we will help A LOT!" Trump stated, adding that the U.S. would coordinate with these nations to ensure operations proceed "quickly, smoothly, and well."

(76,553 posts)...militarily & economically, what is the threat mitigated by the presence of other countries.
First, he didn't write that. No way he knew "militarily" was the appropriate grammar.
Second, whoever did write it doesn't know what "decimated" means.
