A growing number of U.S. allies are declining to take part in military efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz, despite mounting pressure from Washington.

From Europe to the Indo-Pacific, governments are signaling reluctance to be drawn into direct military action, instead emphasizing diplomacy, legal constraints or limited defensive contributions.

France

France has ruled out any military role in securing the Strait of Hormuz, stressing a diplomatic approach. In an interview with FRANCE 24 last week, Armed Forces Minister Catherine Vautrin said Paris is “not participating in this war.”

“At this point, there is no question of sending any vessels to the Strait of Hormuz,” she explained. Vautrin also questioned whether Washington and Jerusalem share the same end goals in the conflict with Iran.

President Donald Trump, however, suggested Monday he expects support from French President Emmanuel Macron.

“I think he’s going to help. I mean, I’ll let you know. I spoke to him yesterday. I don’t do a hard sell on them because my attitude is we don’t need anybody. We’re the strongest nation in the world. We have the strongest military by far in the world. We don’t need them,” Trump said at the White House. “But, it’s interesting. I’m almost doing it in some cases, not because we need them, but because I want to find out how they react.”

Germany

Germany has rejected military involvement, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz stating the conflict falls outside NATO’s scope. “We will not participate in ensuring [freedom of navigation in the] Strait of Hormuz by military means. The war in the Middle East is not a matter for NATO,” he said in a post on X. “Therefore, Germany will also not become involved militarily.”

Australia

Australia has declined to send ships to the strait despite U.S. calls for support. In an interview on ABC Radio National on Monday, Catherine King, minister for infrastructure, transport, regional development and local government, said, “We won’t be sending a ship to the Strait of Hormuz. We know how incredibly important that is, but that’s not something that we’ve been asked or that we’re contributing to.”

She noted Australia’s current contribution is limited to support in the United Arab Emirates, including providing aircraft to assist with defense given the number of Australians in the country.

Ireland

Ireland has ruled out participation in any EU naval mission to reopen the strategic waterway. Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach) Micheál Martin told reporters ahead of his meeting with Trump, “We don’t have that offensive military capacity in any shape or form, so obviously it’s not something that’s on our agenda,” according to the Irish Examiner. “The world is in a very challenging situation and no one likes war. We certainly don’t as a country, and we want a specific resolution.”

Spain

Spain has rejected any involvement in a Hormuz mission and called for an end to the war.

Defense Minister Margarita Robles said, “We are on a defense and security mission in Cyprus and at this moment Spain is not considering any mission in Hormuz. What we are considering is the demand that the war end,” according to Spanish newspaper La Razón.

She described the conflict as an “illegal war that is causing many deaths.”

Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares similarly argued to end the “spiral of violence” and “this escalation that does not have clear objectives.”

Countries signaling caution or limited involvement

United Kingdom

The U.K. has stopped short of committing to direct military action while emphasizing coordination with international partners. In a press conference on Monday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, “We will not be drawn into the wider war.”

He called on allies and other European countries to “bring together a viable collective plan that can restore freedom of navigation in the region as quickly as possible.”

Japan

Japan is holding off on any deployment of naval escorts to the Middle East, citing legal constraints. Speaking in parliament during an Upper House Budget Committee meeting, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said, “No decision has been made whatsoever regarding the dispatch of escort vessels,” according to The Japan Times. “We are currently examining what Japan can do independently and what is possible within the legal framework.”

“Legally speaking, this is very difficult,” Takaichi added. “We are carefully examining what can be done within the scope of current laws and what is the best course of action at this time. At the same time, we are continuing to engage with Iran to help de-escalate the situation while also exchanging information with various countries.”

消息：日本拟在美日首脑会谈提出采购美国原油

发布时间 / 来源

日本政府相关人士透露，政府已展开协调，计划在首相高市早苗与美国总统特朗普的首脑会谈上，提出采购美国阿拉斯加州产原油。

日本共同社引述消息人士报道，日本计划于星期四（3月19日）的两国首脑会谈上，作出上述提议。

鉴于中东局势紧张，日方希望促进原油进口来源多元化。

此外，日本政府也在协调，拟表态愿意为美国下一代导弹防御构想“金穹”提供协助，旨在提升应对中国、俄罗斯和朝鲜正在推进开发的高超音速武器的能力。

“金穹”是特朗普去年5月宣布的构想，以保卫美国本土而在太空部署探测和拦截导弹的宏大计划。相关详情尚不明确，总费用据称为1750亿美元（约2233亿新元）。日方希望以特朗普关注的事项作为杠杆，强化日美同盟。

据相关人士介绍，“金穹”构想的主要内容之一是应对高超音速武器。由于这类武器以音速五倍以上的速度在低空变轨飞行，防空雷达或难以进行追踪与拦截。由于日美在2023年8月的首脑会谈上，就共同开发应对高超音速武器的新型拦截导弹达成了共识，日方似乎做出可以为这一构想提供协助的判断。

降低地缘政治风险 日美料商议开辟稀土供应新渠道

日本正加速摆脱对中国稀土的依赖，除了号召日本企业集思广益，也计划通过国际合作开辟新的稀土供应渠道。据日媒报道，星期四（3月19日）在华盛顿举行的日美首脑会谈，将重点讨论以日本、美国和欧洲为中心构建的稀土贸易区。

分析人士指出，在中东战事引发全球资源紧张之际，目前正是日本携手美国等国打造可持续稀土供应网络的最佳时机，而地缘政治变化也推动日美在稀土等关键矿产合作上发挥引领作用。

《每日新闻》报道，美国国务院今年2月主办的关键矿产部长级会议，吸引了日本和七国集团（G7）等50多国参与，美国提议建立稀土元素最低价格体系，以遏制中国廉价产品涌入。日本首相高市早苗访美时，将与美国总统特朗普协商推进这项计划。

报道指出，中国靠廉价劳动力压低稀土成本，致力于推动供应链多元化的日美欧因此仍面临中国廉价产品的挑战。

有日本官员坦言：“供应链多元化迫在眉睫，但真的可能彻底消除市场上廉价的中国产品吗？如果各国企业继续购买中国产品，最低价机制将无法发挥作用。”

日本能源金属矿产资源机构的数据显示，日本每年约2万吨的稀土需求主要依赖进口，2024年有70%来自中国，而重稀土元素是制造工业磁体的关键材料。

今年1月，中国加强稀土等军民两用物项的对日出口管制，2月24日还将20家日本公司列入出口禁令名单，减少对中国的依赖因此成了日本的燃眉之急。

日经新闻的报道指出，当局并未公开稀土元素的国家储备，但野村证券首席经济学家冈崎耕平估算，日本政府稀土库存仅够维持6至12个月，供应链随时可能中断。

地缘政治也加速了日本自行开采稀土，日本已启动在东京偏远的小笠原群岛南鸟岛的近海稀土试钻项目，目标是在2027年底总结调查结果和经济可行性，并于2028年实现量产。

南鸟岛开采稀土成本 为中国进口价的20倍

不过，日经报道引述专家推算，日本在南鸟岛近海开采稀土的成本比从中国进口高。第一生命科学研究所研究员嶌峰义清估计，开采南鸟岛近海稀土的成本每吨约1100万日元（约8万8000新元），是中国进口价的20倍。

日经报道指出，最大一笔投资是在提取阶段，约需2500亿日元，估计在海域建立稀土供应网络需至少3400亿日元。

尽管投资金额不小，但分析人士认为，作为科技大国，日本正在加速引进半导体工厂以及研发人工智能等新科技。若从经济安全角度看，在南鸟岛附近海域建立一定规模的稀土供应网络，将能减少地缘政治风险。

The U.S. is the world’s leading oil producer. So why are gas prices soaring?

March 17, 2026 / 11:21 AM EDT / CBS News

Motorists are paying sharply higher fuel prices since the outbreak of the Iran war, despite the U.S. being the world’s largest oil producer. Why?

After all, as of 2023 (the latest data available), the U.S. churned out roughly 13 million barrels of crude a day, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). That compares with roughly 10 million barrels from the world’s No. 2 and No. 3 producers, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

On Tuesday, the average national gas price in the U.S. rose to $3.79 a gallon, up from $2.92 a month ago, according to AAA. A gallon of diesel costs has shot up to more than $5, the highest level since late 2022.

Interconnected oil markets

---

And here’s the thing: The U.S. exports much of the oil it produces, selling it to foreign purchasers. We also remain a major importer, with the U.S also the world’s biggest user of oil, data shows.

“The global market sets the price. The provenance of the oil we’re filling out gas tanks with doesn’t matter,” said Bernard Yaros, lead U.S. economist at Oxford Economics.

The U.S. exports about 11 million barrels of its daily output, according to the EIA. It also imports roughly 8 million barrels of oil.

Much of the oil produced in the U.S. is known as “light” crude, the highest-quality oil and the one for which there is the greatest global demand. Yet most of the country’s refining capacity is optimized for a more viscous type of oil known as “heavy” crude. U.S. refineries can’t be quickly or easily reconfigured to handle lighter and low-sulfur, or “sweet,” grades of oil, explained Ernest Moniz, the former U.S. Secretary of Energy under President Obama and now an energy researcher at MIT.

“Oil from different places has different characteristics,” Willy Shih, a supply-chain expert and professor at Harvard Business School, told CBS News. “Refineries in the U.S., along the Gulf Coast in Texas, are geared toward handling a particular type of crude oil from Venezuela,” he said.

The upshot: When drivers fill up their cars, it’s often with gas produced using imported oil that was refined domestically. So when oil prices rise around the world, that also increases the cost of fuel in the U.S.

Meanwhile, surging oil prices aren’t only raising the cost of filling a car — it’s also boosting the cost of filling a plane with jet fuel. That, in turn, is leading airlines to lift their fares.

A recent analysis of U.S. airline ticket prices by Deutsche Bank analysts found that average domestic airfares for travelers booking flights later in March have climbed by between 15% and 124%. The average fare for transcontinental flights has jumped over 100%, while flight prices to the Caribbean, Florida and transatlantic destinations have also risen, according to the investment bank.

“If the price of oil goes up, the price of everything goes up,” Ernest Moniz, an energy researcher at MIT and the former U.S. Secretary of Energy under President Obama, told CBS News. “Even though we are a net exporter of oil, that doesn’t change the fact that we are a major importer as well.”

内坦亚胡：伊国安委秘书遭击毙 为伊朗人推翻政权创造机会 | 联合早报

发布时间：2026年3月17日22:18

以色列总理内坦亚胡说，击毙伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书拉里贾尼，是为伊朗人民争取推翻统治者的机会。

法新社报道，内坦亚胡星期二（3月17日）在电视讲话中说：“今天早上，我们除掉了革命卫队的头目拉里贾尼，而革命卫队正是控制伊朗的匪帮。”

他指出，伊朗人民推翻神权统治“不会一蹴而就，也不会轻易实现。但如果我们坚持下去——我们将给他们一个机会，让他们掌握自己的命运”。

以色列星期二称，伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书拉里贾尼已遭暗杀。伊朗随即发布拉里贾尼写给伊朗阵亡士兵的悼文，但没有否认或确认他的死讯。

美反恐中心主任辞职：无法昧着良心支持对伊战争

2026年3月17日 22:37 / 联合早报

美国国家反恐中心主任肯特宣布辞职，并指出伊朗对美国不构成迫在眉睫的威胁，成为特朗普政府中首名因伊朗战争辞职的高级官员。

路透社报道，肯特（Joseph Kent）星期二（3月17日）在社媒发布一封写给特朗普的信。他写道：“我无法昧着良心支持正在进行的伊朗战争。伊朗对我们国家不构成迫在眉睫的威胁，很明显我们发动这场战争是由于以色列及强大的游说集团施加的压力。”

另据法新社报道，肯特在信中写道：“在2025年6月之前，您（特朗普）一直明白，中东战争是一个陷阱，它夺走美国爱国者的宝贵生命，耗尽我们国家的财富和繁荣。”

他也说：“在本届政府初期，以色列高级官员和美国媒体的某些有影响力人士发起一场虚假信息宣传活动，彻底破坏‘美国优先’政策，并散播支持战争的情绪，企图挑起与伊朗的战争。这种回音室效应用来欺骗你们，让你们相信伊朗对美国构成迫在眉睫的威胁，并且如果你们现在发动攻击，就能迅速取得胜利。”

他写道：“这完全是谎言，以色列人也曾用同样的伎俩将我们拖入灾难性的伊拉克战争，这场战争夺去了我们国家数千名最优秀男女的生命。我无法支持让下一代上战场，为一场对美国人民毫无益处、也无法证明牺牲是正当的战争送死。”

一些专家指出，根据现行法律，美国只有在面临迫在眉睫的威胁时才能发动战争。

白宫尚未对此事作出回应。国家情报总监办公室也未作出回应。情报官员对这一消息感到意外。

肯特与国家情报总监加巴德（Tulsi Gabbard）关系密切，加巴德自伊朗战争爆发以来一直保持低调，没有发表任何公开声明，只在本月初美伊冲突中阵亡的美国士兵的遗体移交仪式上公开露面。

Trump says he believes he has ‘honor’ of ‘taking Cuba,’ calls Caribbean island a ‘very weakened nation’

Published March 17, 2026 10:18am EDT | Fox News

President Donald Trump said he believes he has the “honor” of “taking Cuba” as he described the Caribbean island as a “very weakened nation.”

Trump made the remark to Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy on Monday, the same day Cuba plunged into a blackout after its entire electrical grid suddenly suffered a total collapse.

“When you say Cuba is next, is Cuba – whatever you do with the military there, it seems like something – will that look more like Iran or Venezuela?” Doocy asked the president in the Oval Office.

“I can’t tell you that. I can tell you that they’re talking to us. It’s a failed nation. They have no money, they have no oil, they have no nothing,” Trump responded, before later saying, “I do believe I’ll be the honor of, having the honor of taking Cuba… That’s a big honor.”

“Taking Cuba?” Doocy said.

“Taking Cuba in some form. Yeah. Taking Cuba, I mean, whether I free it, take it, I think I could do anything I want with it, you want to know the truth?” Trump said. “They’re a very weakened nation right now. They were for a long time. A very violent, very violent leaders. Castro is a very violent leader. His brother is a very violent leader, extremely violent. That’s how they governed. They governed with violence. But a lot of people would like to go back.”

PROTESTERS TORCH COMMUNIST PARTY HQ IN CUBA; VIDEO APPEARS TO CAPTURE GUNFIRE

The Cuban government is in talks with Trump administration officials, the country’s president said Friday, as Havana works to halt a potential regime change as it deals with a widening energy crisis.

Cuba’s economy has struggled since the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from his home in Caracas at the start of the year. The Trump administration immediately cut off oil exports to the island.

Earlier this month, Trump also vowed to “take care” of Cuba’s regime following America’s focus on Iran.

Ali Larijani, Iran’s top security official, killed in airstrike, Israel says. Here’s why his death is significant.

March 17, 2026 / 10:59 AM EDT / CBS News

Top Iranian security official Ali Larijani was killed in overnight strikes, Israel said Tuesday, marking a significant moment for the Islamic Republic in the conflict.

Israeli defense minister Israel Katz said in a statement that Larijani was “eliminated.” There was no immediate confirmation out of Iran on his apparent killing.

Larijani, the head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, was among the most senior leaders of the regime still alive in Iran after top leaders — including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — were killed at the start of the war. He was one of the regime’s most experienced insiders and deeply trusted by the late Khamenei. He was also among a very small group of people who could manage both the war and the politics around it.

He was a hardliner who understood negotiation, and also a system loyalist who understood limits.

Larijani had been a defiant voice since the war began and warned only a week ago, in a message aimed at President Trump, that the Iranian people “do not fear your empty threats; even those greater than you have failed to erase them… so beware lest you be the ones who disappear.”

He last appeared in public on Friday at a demonstration for al-Quds Day, an annual event in support of Palestinians. It was an act of defiance as he walked through crowds in Tehran in the middle of the conflict.

Why Larijani’s death is significant

---

Larijani was a former Revolutionary Guards officer who went on to run state broadcasting, serve as Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator and serve as the speaker of parliament for more than a decade. More recently, he returned to the core of power as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, sitting at the intersection of military, intelligence and political decision-making. He also came from one of Iran’s most powerful clerical families, which matters in the theocracy.

In the months leading up to the war, Larijani had become even more important, at times effectively running the country’s day-to-day strategy as pressure mounted.

Operationally, the impact of his death is likely limited in the short term. Politically, it could harden attitudes and reinforce the narrative inside Tehran that this is an existential fight aimed at dismantling the leadership itself.

Over time, it removes one of the few insiders who could help shape a political off-ramp. Figures like Larijani are often the ones who help manage not just how wars are fought, but how they end.

Larijani could operate inside the security state and still engage in external negotiation. He helped shape Iran’s nuclear posture and was involved in quiet efforts to reopen channels with Washington even as tensions escalated.

Just as importantly, he helped manage the political layer of the war itself.

He was one of the few figures who could shape the messaging, signal intentions and maintain lines of communication externally, even as fighting continued, while remaining fully trusted by the system. While he understood escalation, he also understood where it needed to stop. That made him one of the few figures in Tehran capable of managing both sides of a crisis at once, and without him, that capability shrinks.

His death also means that Mojtaba Khamenei, who is the new supreme leader and son of the late ayatollah, loses one of the few men who knew how his father actually ran power. Larijani was close to the late Khamenei and part of an inner circle that understood how power was exercised at the top.

The Islamic Republic, however, is built to absorb the losses of leaders like Larijani, and so his death may not fundamentally change Iran’s trajectory. Power does not disappear, but instead shifts while the system remains.

In his final messages, Larijani was blunt. He framed the war as an existential struggle and challenged Muslim countries directly, asking them, “Which side are you on?” over their apparent silence as the violence raged on. At the same time, he insisted Iran was not seeking domination over its neighbors.

Larijani among other leaders killed

---

The Israeli military also announced on Tuesday the killing of the Gen. Gholam Reza Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s feared Basij paramilitary force.

“The Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, targeted and eliminated Gholamreza Soleimani, who operated as commander of the Basij unit for the past six years,” the IDF said in a statement, accusing the Basij, under Soleimani’s command, of leading “the main repression operations, employing severe violence, widespread arrests, and the use of force against civilian demonstrators” to quash anti-government protests that swept across Iran in January.

The IDF called Soleimani’s assassination “an additional significant blow to the regime’s security command-and-control structures” and it vowed to “continue to operate with determination against commanders of the Iranian terror regime.”

The Trump administration said earlier this month that the operation against Iran had killed 49 of “the most senior Iranian regime leaders.”

The U.S. said on Friday it was offering up to $10 million, and the potential opportunity to relocate, for information on the whereabouts of 10 senior Iranian leaders. Larijani had been among them.

以色列称打死拉里贾尼 伊朗未确认或否认

拉里贾尼最近一次公开露面是上周五（13日）。如果死讯属实，他会是继时任伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊于2月28日战争首日死于美以空袭后，遭刺杀的最高级别伊朗官员。哈梅内伊之子穆杰塔巴虽已接替父亲成为最高领袖，但据悉他受了伤，职务可能由拉里贾尼代理。以色列形容，拉里贾尼是伊朗“实权领袖”。

拉里贾尼被视为伊朗政府中较为务实的人物，在与西方的核谈判中，曾发挥关键作用，但随着美伊关系陷入紧张，他的立场在最近几个月变得强硬起来。

半岛电视台分析指出，拉里贾尼被暗杀将让各方更难与伊朗政治领导层接触，而即使他真的已身亡，也不意味着伊朗政权已经垮台。无论如何，以色列将视这次刺杀为一项重大战略胜利。

目前，美以伊冲突未见缓解迹象。美国总统特朗普周一被问及战争能否在本周结束时回应：“没那么快，但肯定用不了多久。”

俄罗斯否认穆杰塔巴赴莫斯科疗伤

路透社周二引述匿名伊朗高官报道，穆杰塔巴在上任后的首次外交政策会议上，拒绝与美国缓和紧张关系或达成停火的提案，这些提案由两个中间国家转达给德黑兰。

据悉，穆杰塔巴强调，目前不是实现和平的时机，伊朗必须击败美以，并让它们支付赔偿。

此前有消息称，穆杰塔巴已赴莫斯科疗伤。但俄罗斯塔斯社周二报道，伊朗驻莫斯科大使贾拉利否认有关消息。

特朗普批评盟友对护航反应冷淡

伊朗外长阿拉格齐周一与联合国秘书长古特雷斯通电话时说，所有关注和平与安全的国家和国际机构都有责任谴责美以的罪行，并要求两国停止对伊朗的军事侵略。他也说，霍尔木兹海峡航运受阻是美以发动战争导致的。

特朗普同日说，他很快就会宣布哪些国家同意为通过霍尔木兹海峡的船只护航。他批评一些西方盟友忘恩负义，对美国的护航请求反应冷淡。

包括德国、西班牙、意大利等一些美国伙伴说，它们没有立即派船协助打开霍尔木兹海峡的计划。

美国国家经济委员会主任哈塞特周二称，油轮已开始零星地穿越海峡，这表明伊朗已几乎什么都不剩，美国对战争将很快结束非常乐观。

航运数据和路透社的统计显示，受战争造成的中断和减产影响，在截至3月15日的一周内，波斯湾地区每日石油出口量较2月份下降了至少60%。

消息：日本拟在美日首脑会谈提出采购美国原油

日本政府相关人士透露，政府已展开协调，计划在首相高市早苗与美国总统特朗普的首脑会谈上，提出采购美国阿拉斯加州产原油。

日本共同社引述消息人士报道，日本计划于星期四（3月19日）的两国首脑会谈上，作出上述提议。

鉴于中东局势紧张，日方希望促进原油进口来源多元化。

此外，日本政府也在协调，拟表态愿意为美国下一代导弹防御构想“金穹”提供协助，旨在提升应对中国、俄罗斯和朝鲜正在推进开发的高超音速武器的能力。

“金穹”是特朗普去年5月宣布的构想，以保卫美国本土而在太空部署探测和拦截导弹的宏大计划。相关详情尚不明确，总费用据称为1750亿美元（约2233亿新元）。日方希望以特朗普关注的事项作为杠杆，强化日美同盟。

据相关人士介绍，“金穹”构想的主要内容之一是应对高超音速武器。由于这类武器以音速五倍以上的速度在低空变轨飞行，防空雷达或难以进行追踪与拦截。由于日美在2023年8月的首脑会谈上，就共同开发应对高超音速武器的新型拦截导弹达成了共识，日方似乎做出可以为这一构想提供协助的判断。
