The Latest: Trump calls for allies to help reopen Strait of Hormuz
President Donald Trump says that he has demanded about seven countries send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, as Iranian strikes continued to rain down on Gulf countries. Dubai International Airport — the world’s busiest — suspended operations early Monday after a drone struck a fuel tank, starting a fire. Authorities said it was quickly contained and no injuries were reported. Tehran has accused the United States of using “ports, docks and hideouts” in the United Arab Emirates to launch strikes on Kharg Island, home to the main terminal handling Iran’s oil exports, without providing evidence, as oil prices soared.
