What did Trump say about Iran and NATO?
US President Donald Trump said in Miami on Friday (March 27, 2026) that Iran is “being destroyed” and America’s military is the most powerful in the world. He reiterated his disappointment with NATO allies. Trump alleged that NATO countries have withdrawn from sending military aid to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. He raised the question that when NATO does not exist for America, then why should America stand for them. Trump also mistakenly called the Strait of Hormuz the ‘Strait of Trump’, although he later corrected it and said that nothing happens to him by mistake or suddenly.
Gulf region and international response
March 28, 2026 is the 30th day of the ongoing war between Iran and Israel. Recently, Iran fired a ballistic missile at Abu Dhabi, which was shot down by the UAE, but 5 Indians were injured by its debris. Israeli forces attacked power positions in Tehran, where about 10 loud explosions were heard. Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant has also been attacked for the third time in 10 days. Hezbollah has clashed with Israeli forces in Lebanon.
Internationally, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded to criticism from allies, saying that no matter what they say in public, behind closed doors they appreciate US policies. At the same time, German Chancellor Mertz criticized the attack on Iran by America and Israel, saying that it lacked a successful plan. British PM Keir Starmer made it clear that Britain will not participate in this war.
