| TRUMP: 'THIS SHOULD HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A TEAM EFFORT': At Friday's Pentagon briefing, the often prickly War Secretary Pete Hegseth bristled when a reporter suggested the U.S. failed to plan for how to keep oil tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz. "We planned for it. We recognize it," Hegseth insisted, "The Strait of Hormuz is something we've paid attention to from the beginning." He suggested the delay in securing the vital waterway, through which 20% of the world's oil supplies pass, is because the U.S. wants to do it "sequentially in a way that makes the most sense for what we want to achieve, and ensure that we're sending the right signals to the world." President Donald Trump has both privately and publicly expressed frustration that the Strait cannot be quickly reopened without endangering U.S. warships, while at the same time imploring other countries to step up and help provide a maritime escort force to protect the tanks and cargo ships trapped on either side of the narrow Strait. "Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat," posted on Truth Social Saturday. "In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE!" "This should have always been a team effort, and now it will be — It will bring the World together toward Harmony, Security, and Everlasting Peace," he said in a follow-up post. TRUMP SAYS HE ASKED 'ABOUT SEVEN' COUNTRIES TO HELP DEFEND STRAIT OF HORMUZ 'VERY BAD FOR THE FUTURE OF NATO': So far, there has been little enthusiasm from other countries to put their warships in the line of fire while Iran still has mines, speedboats, and drones capable of sinking both military and commercial vessels. Japan has already indicated it will not be providing naval ships for a potential coalition effort to escort oil tankers through the Strait, at least not while the war is still raging. "I think we're getting a good response. If we do, that's great. And if we don't, that's great," Trump told reporters on Air Force One last night. But while feigning indifference about whether other countries join the U.S. effort, he made clear he wanted NATO allies to contribute to an international force. "We're always there for NATO," Trump said. "It'd be interesting to see what country wouldn't help us with a very small endeavor, which is just keeping the Strait up." Trump argued that the risky operation was "a very small endeavor," because "Iran has very little firepower left, and their missiles are down to a low number." China, he said, should also help keep the Strait open because it "gets about 90% of its oil from the Hormuz Strait." In an eight-minute phone interview Sunday with the Financial Times, Trump said he might postpone his planned visit to China later this month if President Xi Jinping doesn't send help. "It's only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the Strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there," Trump said. As for NATO allies, including Britain and France, Trump warned, "If there's no response or if it's a negative response, I think it will be very bad for the future of NATO." TRUMP TALKS WITH STARMER AS HE TRIES TO LURE COUNTRIES TO HELP REOPEN STRAIT OF HORMUZ THERE ARE A LOT OF TARGETS LEFT: In an interview with CBS News, former U.S. Central Commander, retired Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, predicted it will take at least two weeks, maybe more, to eliminate Iran's ability to threaten shipping in the Arabian Gulf. "There are a lot of targets associated with the Iranian ability to try to close the Strait of Hormuz," McKenzie told Correspondent David Martin on CBS's Sunday Morning. "Before you send warships up there, you want to make sure you've removed Iranian ability to go after your high-value ships in a very narrow and constrained space where it's hard to maneuver." While the U.S. has destroyed more than 30 mine-laying ships, Iran still has thousands of mines that can be placed by small fast boats. And a single mine can ruin your whole day. "They have thousands of mines," McKenzie said. "The good news is we know where they are, and while they are in storage, we have the opportunity to strike them." The U.S. escorted ships through the Strait before, during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, in what was then dubbed "Operation Earnest Will," so we know how it's done. "You should think of a line of ships, probably following the leader, and you might actually lead with a tanker in front," McKenzie said. "In case you do hit a mine, you'd rather the tanker hit it than one of your warships."

HAPPENING TODAY: The amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli, and its expeditionary force of 2,500 Marines, has been ordered to the Middle East as a contingency force. Their mission is unclear, but it comes as President Trump has not ruled out a limited use of ground troops, and after Trump declared that U.S. strikes on Iran's Kharg Island "obliterated" targets there, which serves as Iran's primary oil distribution facility. "We attacked Kharg Island and left just one little area standing … where they have the pipes, dual pipes," Trump said, indicating he was holding back to increase leverage in negotiating a surrender. "We can do that in five minutes. We have it all locked and loaded and ready to go." "I chose not to do it yet. They want to negotiate. They want to negotiate badly. I don't think they're ready, just want to negotiate, and as they should. But I don't think they're ready to do what they have to do. I think they will be at some point," Trump said on Air Force One. "Kharg Island, I think everybody has been educated now, is a major strategic asset of the Iranians, because 90% of their oil flows through that distribution point," retired Army Gen. Jack Keane said on the Fox show Sunday Morning Futures. "It's really about messaging the Iranians," Keane told Fox's Maria Bartiromo. "We told them, in no uncertain terms, by taking down the military capability and not taking down the oil infrastructure, we can take Kharg Island at a time of our choosing." "Would we take it in the future? Those options are there for the president, likely towards the end of this," Keane said. "Because if we take Kharg Island, either we occupy it or blockade it, there's a number of things that we can do, it's kind of checkmate for the regime." US MAY STRIKE KHARG ISLAND AGAIN 'JUST FOR FUN,' TRUMP SAYS IRAN FM: 'NOTHING'S ON THE TABLE': In an appearance on CBS from an undisclosed location in Iran, the country's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted that Iran is not seeking a ceasefire and is not asking for any new negotiations. "We are ready to defend ourselves as long as it takes. And this is what we have done so far, and we continue to do that until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war with no victory," Araghchi told CBS's Margaret Brennan. "There are, you know, people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun. This is what he has said." Araghchi did say Iran was ready to negotiate with individual countries for the safe passage of their ships through the Strait of Hormuz. "I cannot mention any country in particular, but we have been approached by a number of countries who wants to have a safe passage for their vessels." And Araghchi suggested U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner rejected Iran's proposal to give nuclear-grade uranium because they did not understand the technical aspects of Iran's concessions. "I offered, actually, that we are ready to dilute those enriched material or down-blend them, as they say, into lower percentage. So that was a big offer, a big concession in order to prove that Iran has never wanted nuclear weapons and would never want them." Asked by Brennan if they would give up the 440 kilograms amount of 60% enriched uranium now, Arahchi replied, "Everything depends on the future. If any time in the future we decide to enter into negotiation with U.S. or other interlocutors, you know, we may decide what to put on the table. For the time being, nothing is on the table."
