Trump calls Strait of Hormuz 'something that we don't need'

At least 826 people have been killed in Lebanon, including 106 children, and over 2,000 have been injured since the start of the war, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

Saturday alone, 53 people were killed and 76 wounded. The health ministry also said five hospitals have been forced to close, there have been 37 attacks on emergency services and 31 health sector workers have been killed.

MedGlobal, a leading medical organization providing aid in Gaza, has condemned a new airstrike that killed at least 12 medics in Southern Lebanon, amid repeated attacks on healthcare in the country.

“They hit a clinic with all its staff,” MedGlobal’s Lebanon Country Director Dr. Tania Baban said in a statement.

MedGlobal said it condemns the Lebanon clinic bombing, calling it a brazen disregard for the protection of healthcare.

“It’s an alarming and brutal pattern,” said MedGlobal’s executive director Joseph Belliveau. “Repeatedly bombing clinics and hospitals is tantamount to declaring war on civilians; parties to conflict must show greater restraint and live up to their own legal obligations to protect medical spaces.”

The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement claiming Hezbollah was using ambulances for "military use" and that if the group did not stop, Israel would act against those ambulances.

The IDF did not provide corroborating evidence for this claim.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the country will respond to any attack on its energy facilities, warning that Iranian forces could target American-linked energy infrastructure in the region.

"If Iran’s facilities are targeted, our forces will strike facilities belonging to American companies in the region or companies in which the United States holds shares," Araghchi said on Saturday, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

He added that Iran would "certainly respond" to such attacks but would act cautiously to avoid targeting densely populated areas.

President Donald Trump said Friday that U.S. Central Command carried out a strike on Iran’s Kharg Island. Refineries on the island process about 90% of Iran’s oil exports.

The U.S. "executed a large-scale precision strike" on Kharg Island, Iran, destroying "naval mine storage facilities, missile storage bunkers, and multiple other military sites," U.S. Central Command said in a post on X.

"U.S. forces successfully struck more than 90 Iranian military targets on Kharg Island, while preserving the oil infrastructure," CENTCOM said.

As the Trump administration continues to face an escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, which facilitates the transport of about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply, President Donald Trump is turning to other countries for assistance.

In a social media post on Saturday, Trump claimed that “many countries” will be “sending War Ships” to assist with keeping the Strait of Hormuz “open and safe.” He later called out specific countries and said they will “hopefully” send ships to the critical waterway.

“Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe,” the president said. He later wrote, “hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area.”

The president added that “in the meantime,” the U.S. will be “bombing the hell out of the shoreline,” as well as shooting Iranian ships “out of the water.”

Trump continued to insist that Iran’s military capabilities are “destroyed 100%,” but said they still pose a threat “no matter how badly defeated they are.”

“We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are,” he wrote.

“One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE!” the president promised.

ABC News has reached out to the White House for clarification on whether countries have formally agreed to send ships.
