Trump Reversed Hormuz Plan After Saudis Denied Airspace Access by God1000(op): 10:22am On May 09
President Trump’s announcement on Sunday that the U.S. military would escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz is said to have angered Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, who denied U.S. access to Saudi airspace and American bases in the country.

Prince Mohammed’s action stunned U.S. officials and forced Trump to abandon his plan, according to a U.S. military official familiar with the sequence of events.

Arab leaders are finally waking up to reality, the fact that america cannot protect them from Iranian missiles, and they stand to lose more economically if this war continues

From Europe to Asia, north and south America, no single ally or partner is willing to get involved in this senseless war

Old news , Saudi already granted US access to it's airspace few days after .

The Initial Ban (Reportedly After Drone Strikes)

According to Saudi sources cited by AFP, the Kingdom temporarily prohibited the US from using its facilities for "Project Freedom" the operation aimed at breaking Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Saudi officials told media that they feared the US operation might provoke further Iranian attacks against the Kingdom and doubted that Washington would provide adequate defense for Gulf allies if the situation escalated. They reiterated their long-standing position that they would not allow their territory to be used to attack Iran.

✅ The Diplomatic Resolution & Reopening

The ban was reversed after direct phone calls between President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Multiple reports from credible agencies like WION and Bernama confirm that Saudi Arabia (along with Kuwait) lifted the restrictions on May 7, 2026, specifically for the Strait of Hormuz escort mission. Consequently, the Trump administration is reportedly preparing to restart the naval escort operations.

Current Status Lifted (as of May 7, 2026)

Nairaland mode with pushing old and distorted news to front page is very sickening.


Yes Saudi didn't allow them their airspace but they have now allowed them the airspace.

Trump didn't abandon any ops freedom, its still very much intact and Iran is paying dearly with lose of revenue in billions daily.

Imagine Iran didn’t strike the Gulf nations, they would have allow their bases and airspace to be used to strike Iran as it was done before

This is it, Iran made sure america won’t have any success in the battle field. The only solution to this problem is nukes which america won’t dare. As per conventional warfare Iran is ready to fight to the last man woman and child. If america try ground invasion that is when you will understand that Iran have capabilities of hitting us mainland with ICBM

Tough lessons for US foreign policy. Donald Trump no doubts is a showman that thinks he can hoodwink any Nation stupidly.

I love the Saudis response.

Iran are the Grandmasters of War. No America was too predictable, if you look at Iran, Afghanistan, Libya the patterns of destruction are all the same. Iran had 2 decades to plan. America should have changed its foreign policy to avoid war because the patterns are in the open for all to see. America will end up being very weak in 20 years time because the world has seen the pattern. Nothing worse than when people can see your pattern.....it is finished.

I guess old age isn't helping this man at all. I don't know how he grew his business into a global conglomerate with this type of inconsistency.
Re: Trump Reversed Hormuz Plan After Saudis Denied Airspace Access by sweetjohn(m): 11:13am On May 09
I love Trump but his greatest undueing is talking toomuch and making so much threat with no action. It’s better he keep quiet than talk and do nothing. Look at Nathanyahu for example, he talk less and do much damages. No wonder the Arab world and all terrorists in the world fears nathanyahu more than trump. Nathan don’t give a dam, he acts morethan he talk, and kill more than he acts. He is more dangerous and unpredictable. He is straightforward and stand by his word. If he said I will kill be rest assured that he will kill. And he dams the consequences. Iran would 100times prefer playing childish play with the US than do such with Israel bc Israel don’t differentiate between play and seriousness, they see all as threat and act swiftly and accordingly.

Israel only limitation is that they are a very tiny country with little population and no much money to build weapons as their counterparts does, if not Israel would have been the greatest country in this world. With the little resources at their disposal they were able to be a strong nation in military, technology and ai, and also very strong economically. No body goes hungry in Israel. Nobody sleeps under the bridge as it’s done almost everywhere including Europe. In Israel nobody behaves anyhow, you will be arrested fast fast. Well organized country, full of life and fun. Give Israel half of the money Iran has, Israel will become the greatest country, greater than the US and any other country in this world.

Keep on circulating fake news from Facebook if that makes you at least sleep at night. Trump is the nightmare of terrorists and their supporters. Drop your tears of defeats and shame in the bucket below.

His father was rich and he moved around with all the rich people he could see that was why Epstein caught him. Trump is rich by association. As you said no business man is this inconsistent publically. It's one thing to be inconsistent privately and another to be publically inconsistent.
Re: Trump Reversed Hormuz Plan After Saudis Denied Airspace Access by Classicals: 11:20am On May 09
I wonder why trump doesn't consider that military report option about the potential sites where Iran keeps the nuclear stockpile it has.
A complete standoff in that area, like 3 days operation would help them destroy those places and declare an end to the war.
If that is their objective, then just go straight for that.

All these other expensive roundabouts he keeps trying won't lead anywhere.

The fear of Iran is enough for the Saudis to avoid getting into avoidable crises. Good decisions by the Saudi Arabia authorities.

If it were that easy, don't you think that the USA would have neutralised Iran?

The American government has lost more in the war, Donald Trump wanted to use threat and aggression, but Iran took them unaware.
