We broke the Strait of Hormuz and now we want help fixing it
Plan (drafter input)
A South Korean cargo ship gets hit by drones in the Strait of Hormuz — twice, a minute apart, stern on fire, towed to Dubai. Trump's response is to call on South Korea to join American efforts to 'restore normal shipping.' The shipping lane the US helped disrupt by starting the war. Joe delivers this as a short punchy take: we broke it, now we're asking other countries to help fix it, and we're framing that as leadership.
Video format for a sharp punchy reactive take — short enough to land in under 30 seconds. Specific named ship, specific damage, specific ask from Trump. Strait of Hormuz is the biggest story in the news menu and this angle (blame-shifting to allies) is a fresh lane from the Iran diplomacy pieces.
