US says "Hormuz defense not US' responsibility alone," urges allies to contribute troops
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright has called for non-regional allies and friendly countries to swiftly contribute military assets to ensure navigation safety in the Strait of Hormuz. He made these comments as the South Korean government considers expanding its military contribution in the area. In an interview with Fox News on 6th, Wright stated that many countries have expressed willingness to cooperate and assist.
He emphasized that current military assets involved in Strait of Hormuz operations are from regional allies and friendly nations, but he hopes for more assets from outside the region to be deployed soon.
