Tensions between the U.S. and its NATO allies have reached a breaking point as President Donald Trump threatens a "very bad future" for the alliance if members refuse to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. While Trump has singled out leaders like Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron for their hesitation, allies argue that the conflict—triggered by U.S. and Israeli strikes is not a NATO war. Meanwhile, Iran has implemented a selective blockade, allowing limited passage only for "allied" vessels (such as those from India and China) that hug the Iranian coastline to avoid GPS jamming and attacks. As the regional fallout spreads, Kuwait reported intercepting 15 drones and missiles in the last 24 hours, while inside Iran, the IRGC has issued stern warnings against "sabotage" ahead of tonight’s Chaharshanbe Suri fire festival.
