The US wants a commitment from NATO to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump has made this appeal to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Trump has said that he wants concrete promises to help secure this route in the next few days. News agency Reuters has given this information quoting two European diplomats.

Trump’s demand comes after NATO’s decision not to get involved in America’s war against Iran or not to allow American forces to use its bases or airspace. America was angry with this.

The gap of disagreement between NATO and America became deeper when NATO betrayed America. America had sought to use it as a weapon to loosen Tehran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz. Even after the ceasefire, tension remains between America and NATO. Europe kept it out of the war throughout the war.

Iran allowed 15 ships daily under ceasefire agreement
Iran has said that under the ceasefire agreement with America, it will not allow more than 15 ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz daily. In this war that started on 28 February, Iran has kept this route closed. This has affected the supply of oil and gas in the countries of the world. Due to this, oil prices have increased rapidly across the world. On Wednesday, Iran again closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on the Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon.

112 people have been killed so far in the attack on Lebanon, hundreds injured
At least 112 people have been killed and hundreds injured in the ongoing war between Israel and Hezbollah. Due to this the ceasefire is in danger. US Vice President JD Vance has called it a delicate agreement. General Seyed Majid Mousavi, Aerospace Commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, has written on Twitter that aggression towards Lebanon is aggression towards Iran. Iranian forces are preparing to give a befitting reply to the attack by Israel. At present he has not given any more information than this.

More than 100 Hezbollah targets targeted within 10 minutes
Apart from this, when asked about the recent attacks by Israel, he said that it is a different kind of clash. Israel had said that this agreement does not apply to its ongoing war with Iran-backed Hezbollah. At the same time, Pakistan, playing the role of mediator, had said that it is applicable. In such a situation, the relief that Lebanon got after the ceasefire soon turned into terror. The Israeli army described it as its biggest and most well-planned attack of the current war. In this attack, more than 100 Hezbollah positions were targeted in Beirut, Southern Lebanon and Eastern Bekaa Valley within just 10 minutes.

America has completed the process of formally separating from the World Health Organization (WHO). This decision started from the first day of President Donald Trump’s second term and has now been completed on January 22, 2026.

America stopped funding of WHO

The Trump administration had announced its exit from WHO by issuing an executive order on January 20, 2025. Under this, America stopped all funding of WHO, recalled all its employees and contractors from Geneva headquarters and WHO offices around the world. Now America is no longer a member of WHO. The American flag has also been removed from outside the WHO headquarters in Geneva.

The Trump government says that WHO made big mistakes in handling the Covid-19 pandemic. The organization did not make necessary reforms and acted under political pressure from some member countries. America will now maintain only limited contact with WHO so that the process of separation can be completed. The government has clearly said that America will not return to WHO in future.

America was a member of WHO for 78 years

America was a founding member of WHO and remained a member for 78 years from 1948. This was the largest funding country. The United States used to pay an average of $111 million in membership fees and more than $570 million in voluntary contributions each year. Now after separation, WHO has suffered a big financial blow. America owes WHO 130 million to 278 million dollars. However, in some reports it is said to be $260 million. But America has refused to pay the dues.

America’s separation has a negative impact on global health.

WHO coordinates worldwide to fight diseases like smallpox, Ebola and polio. Distributes technical assistance, vaccines and medicines to poor countries. Creates guidelines for hundreds of diseases. This decision may have a negative impact on global health.

Experts say that this will weaken the global ability to fight new diseases. American scientists and pharmaceutical companies will also find it difficult to get health data from other countries, which is necessary for early warning of the epidemic. Experts at Georgetown University, Lawrence Gostin, have called it ‘the most disastrous presidential decision of his life’.

Trump separated from 70 organizations in 1 year

This decision is part of the larger policy of the Trump administration. In the first year of the second term, America has separated from about 70 international organizations and agreements. These include 31 UN-related institutions, including the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Economic Commission for Africa, Asia, Latin America and West Asia, International Law Commission, International Trade Centre, Peacebuilding Commission and Fund, UN Women, UNFCCC, UN Population Fund, UN Water, UN University and many more.

America has also withdrawn from 35 non-UN organizations and Paris climate agreements. These include many entities including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), International Renewable Energy Agency, International Solar Alliance, International Union for Conservation of Nature, and Global Forum on Migration and Development. The government says that these organizations promote the ‘woke agenda’, which is against American interests. However, the US will remain in the UN Security Council, the World Food Program (WFP) and the UNHCR, as these are considered essential for national security and humanitarian aid.
