President Trump has secured pledges from six American allies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. The pledges come just a day after President Trump posted a scathing rebuke of our allies for not stepping up to help the U.S. secure this vital economic passageway.

 

The allies now pledging support for the Strait of Hormuz include Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Netherlands.

 

Fox News host Harris Faulkner said it was a "critical moment" for the President, and that the allies issued a joint statement to secure the Strait of Hormuz and stabilize the world's energy shipping supply chain.

Iran executes 19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi, two others in horrific public hangings

Ronny Reyes / NEW YORK POST 

Iran executed a 19-year-old champion wrestler in a public hanging Thursday along with two other people who were arrested during the brutal crackdown on anti-regime protesters in January.

Saleh Mohammadi, a rising star from Qom, was allegedly tortured to confess to the capital crime of waging war against God, with the teen executed without a fair trial, according to human rights groups.

“His execution was a blatant political murder, part of the Islamic Republic’s pattern of targeting athletes to crush dissent and terrorize society,” Nima Far, a human rights activist and Iranian combat athlete, told Fox News.

Mohammadi, along with fellow protesters Mehdi Ghasemi and Saeed Davoudi, were accused of killing two police officers “with knives and swords” during the January protests, according to Iranian state media. 

Despite appeals from the US, the protesters were found guilty and executed by Tehran. Read more and see video here.
