'US Does Not Need Anyone's Help': Trump After NATO Rejects His Proposal To Join Hormuz Campaign

Iran-US-Israel War: United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday harshly criticised the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) after allies pushed back against the US-Israel war on Iran, calling down the alliance and asserting that Washington does not need foreign support.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that most of America's NATO allies had informed them that they “don’t want to get involved” in the military operation while stating that the US did not need their assistance.

The US president said he was “disappointed” in NATO while adding that the alliance's refusal to help was a “foolish mistake".

“The United States has been informed by most of our NATO 'allies' that they don’t want to get involved with our military operation against the terrorist regime of Iran in the Middle East; this, despite the fact that almost every country strongly agreed with what we are doing and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a nuclear weapon," Trump wrote in his post.

He further said that the US had achieved “military success” in Iran, claiming that America did not “need” NATO's assistance.

“Because of the fact that we have had such military success, we no longer—WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. Because of the fact that we have had such military success, we no longer—WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea,” Trump's post said.

On NATO allies not wanting to join the military operation in West Asia, Trump said he was “not surprised” by their decision.

“I am not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend hundreds of billions of dollars per year protecting these same countries, to be a one-way street—we will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need,” Trump said.

However, he alleged that the US and Israel had “decimated Iran’s military", claiming that Tehran's navy, air force, and their “anti-aircraft and radar” are "gone". “Perhaps, most importantly, their leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern allies, or the world again!” Trump said.

The comments build on remarks Trump made a day earlier in the Oval Office, where he expressed frustration that some US allies were not willing to contribute militarily.
