U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has delivered a blunt message to Europe over the Strait of Hormuz, saying European allies should “get in a boat” and take a greater role in securing the strategic waterway. Hegseth argued that Europe and Asia depend on the Strait of Hormuz more than the United States and said the era of allies relying on American protection without greater contributions was over. He called the crisis “much more their fight than ours.” The comments came as the U.S. expanded its maritime blockade of Iranian ports and pressed allies to contribute to efforts surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. The remarks have also highlighted tensions between Washington and European allies over the war, shipping security and responsibility for reopening the vital energy route. Watch the full report for Hegseth’s message to Europe, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, the U.S. blockade of Iran, European concerns and the growing dispute over who should secure the strategic waterway. #Pe
