"Trump, in a White House meeting with Irish Taoiseach Michael Martin on St. Patrick's Day, said NATO is making a "very foolish mistake" by not helping out with escorting tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. "We don't need them but they should've been there," Trump said, reiterating what he said in his earlier Truth Social post."
"Trump in particular criticized UK PM Keir Starmer, saying Starmer doesn't measure up to Prime Minister Winston Churchill. "He hasn't been supportive, and I think's a big mistake," Trump said. "I'm disappointed with Keir.""
"Israel's military says the top Iranian security official Larijani and Basij head Soleimani killed in strikes. Iran is yet to confirm the deaths of either official. Drone attack hits US Embassy in Baghdad. Qatar and UAE intercept more Iranian drones and missiles."
Trump stated NATO is making a "very foolish mistake" by refusing to help escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz during escalating US-Iran tensions. The US national counterterrorism center chief Joe Kent resigned over the Iran war. Israel's military reported killing top Iranian security official Larijani and Basij head Soleimani in strikes, though Iran has not confirmed these deaths. A drone attack targeted the US Embassy in Baghdad, while Qatar and UAE intercepted Iranian drones and missiles. Israel launched additional strikes on Tehran and Beirut. Germany, Canada, France, Italy, and the UK warned Israel against launching a ground offensive in southern Lebanon. Trump specifically criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, comparing him unfavorably to Winston Churchill.
