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

Multiple countries have responded to US President Donald Trump’s call for assistance in addressing the Strait of Hormuz crisis. The crisis, which has been ongoing since 2019, involves tensions between Iran and its neighbors over access to the strategic waterway.

According to reports, Trump has urged China, allies, and other nations to help with the situation. In response, several countries have expressed caution and restraint in their responses.

The US administration is reportedly planning to announce a coalition to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz. This move is seen as an effort to increase security in the region.

In addition, Trump has signaled that he may delay his planned summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping due to pressure from the US on China to help address the crisis.

Iran has stated that it still has “thousands of targets” in the country, according to Israeli officials. The situation remains fluid and developments are ongoing.

The international community is closely watching the situation as tensions continue to escalate.
