Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Multiple countries have issued statements and taken actions related to the ongoing situation involving Iran, Israel, and the Middle East.

US President Donald Trump has made comments about NATO allies, stating that they are “cowards” for not providing more support in the US-Israel war on Iran. The comments were made during a live address.

Meanwhile, oil prices have risen to $110 per barrel due to increased tensions in the region. This increase is attributed to various factors, including the recent strikes by Israel against Iranian targets.

Seven countries that are allied with the United States have expressed support for a potential coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway in the Middle East.

Iran has continued to launch attacks on energy sites in the Gulf region. In response, Israel has pledged to spare these sites from future attacks.

These developments come as more US Marines and warships are being deployed towards the Middle East. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing updates and statements from various countries involved.
