As of
April 1, 2026, President Trump has threatened to withdraw the U.S. from NATO
due to allies' refusal to support the U.S.-led war in Iran. He stated the
conflict would conclude in two or three weeks and dismissed the closure of the
Strait of Hormuz by Iran as a problem for other countries to manage.
Key
Details
NATO
Threats: Trump described U.S. membership in NATO as "beyond
reconsideration" after European leaders, including Germany, Britain, and
France, refused to aid in securing the Strait of Hormuz.
Strait of
Hormuz: As Iran blocked the key oil transit route, causing global energy price
spikes, Trump told allies, particularly the UK, to "go to the Strait, and
just TAKE IT".
War
Outlook: Despite the ongoing crisis, Trump predicted a swift end, claiming he
had already addressed Iran's nuclear program.
Allied
Response: Germany and other nations declined to participate, arguing they did
not start the war, while some offered support only after combat ends.
The
conflict, initiated without consultation, has entered its third week and has
resulted in over 2,000 deaths.
President Trump said that he was considering leaving NATO over allies’ failure to support his Iran offensive. He suggested that the U.S. war would end in two or three weeks and that Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz would be a problem for others to solve.

Here’s
the latest.
President
Trump said that he was considering pulling the United States out of NATO over
the war with Iran, as he heaps pressure on allies to manage the fallout of a
conflict he signaled he would wind down in two or three weeks.
In an
interview with Britain’s Telegraph newspaper published on Wednesday, Mr. Trump
was asked whether he was reconsidering U.S. membership in the military alliance
and was quoted as replying, “Oh yes,” and that it was “beyond reconsideration.”
The remarks were published hours after President Trump said that he expected
the U.S. military campaign in Iran would be over “very soon” and dismissed
Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has jolted global energy markets,
as a problem for other countries to resolve.
In a
social media post on Tuesday, Mr. Trump had again denigrated U.S. allies,
chiefly Britain, for not heeding his call for help in securing the strait, a
conduit for much of the global oil supply, and said that the United States
would not come to their aid in the future. An Iranian official emphasized on
Wednesday that the United States would not regain access to the waterway,
saying in a social media post: “The Strait of Hormuz will certainly reopen, but
not for you.”
Mr. Trump
was scheduled to deliver “an important update” on the war in a national address
at 9 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, said Karoline Leavitt, the White House press
secretary. On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Trump told reporters that he had achieved
his primary goal of preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, though
there is no evidence that the United States or Israel has destroyed the
country’s stockpile of near-bomb-grade fuel.
Earlier
Tuesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the U.S. had achieved such
control of Iran’s skies that it was flying B-52 bombers directly over Iranian
territory. But Mr. Hegseth acknowledged that Iran retained the ability to
retaliate with missiles and drones targeting U.S. allies in the region. On
Wednesday morning, the authorities in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar all reported
missile or drone attacks from Iran.
The
Israeli military said on Wednesday that it had completed a wave of strikes
against Iranian government infrastructure in Tehran, the capital, without
specifying the targets. Iranian state television reported that three locations
were hit, including an area northeast of Tehran with military buildings and
housing.
Here’s
what else we’re covering:
American
kidnapped: A journalist, Shelly Kittleson, was kidnapped in Baghdad, the Iraqi
capital, on Tuesday evening, the country’s Interior Ministry said. The ministry
said that security forces had pursued the kidnappers, arrested one suspect and
seized a vehicle used in the abduction. The suspect is a member of the
Iranian-allied paramilitary group Kataib Hezbollah, two senior Iraqi security
officials said.
Houthis:
In Yemen, the Iran-backed Houthi militia said it had launched ballistic
missiles at Israel on Wednesday. Israel said it had detected a missile launch
from Yemen toward its territory. The Houthis entered the war on Saturday by
launching a missile attack on what they said were Israeli military targets.
Lebanon:
Israeli strikes in Beirut killed at least seven people and wounded 24 others
early Wednesday, Lebanon’s national news agency reported. And there were more
Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon, a day after Israel said it planned to
occupy and control a large swath of the region and demolish entire towns.
Death
tolls: The Human Rights Activists News Agency said at least 1,598 civilians had
been killed, including 244 children, in Iran since the war began. Lebanon’s
health ministry said that more than 1,260 Lebanese had been killed as of
Tuesday, with more than 3,750 others wounded, since the latest fighting between
Israel and Hezbollah began. In Iran’s attacks across the Middle East, at least
50 people have been killed in Gulf nations. In Israel, at least 17 had been
killed as of Friday. The American death toll stands at 13 service members, with
hundreds of others wounded.
