Quick summary: US President Donald Trump is urging international assistance in the conflict with Iran, but responses have been lukewarm.

A tornado warning has disrupted activities in the US capital at the beginning of the week: Congress has postponed votes, federal officials stayed home to work, and Washington schools sent children home early on Monday. However, President Trump had already made new demands regarding the Iran conflict over the weekend, casting a shadow over relations between Washington and its international partners. He wants other countries to join the US in breaking Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. While Trump is calling for NATO support in the conflict, few are willing to provide it, and he has not issued any concrete threats so far.
