Europe Refuses to Help Trump Secure the Strait of Hormuz
"لا للابتزاز".. أوروبا ترفض مساعدة ترمب في أزمة مضيق هرمز
Summary
European nations have unanimously rejected US President Donald Trump's request to deploy forces to secure the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has blockaded in response to the US-Israeli war. European governments justified their refusal by arguing that the conflict is America's war, not theirs. The rebuff marks a significant transatlantic rift over responsibility for the escalating crisis in the Gulf.
