It’s not yet clear how much assistance they may provide. But it looks like they are realizing that it’s in their interests.

Its a positive development.
The Brits have mine sweepers.
Not sure who has modern escort ships that can withstand Iran's attacks?

Standard wording from someone who might be ready next year after the fun has finished .

I knew they would come around.

When the Straits of Hormuz are closed, the global price of oil goes up a lot and it don't matter where it comes from. So the Euros and Japanese had to realize their economies are going to suffer unless they can bring the cost of oil back down to reasonable levels.

As I said. Europe wants China First and China First cannot occur if they lose their access to oil.

They will not help America and Israel remove a despot in Iran but they sure will help the Communists in China. Regardless of ones opinion of the war, they need to be consistent with their cries of "international law" when they didnt say peep when China took the Sprately Islands or HK.

Seems like it would have bene smart to figure this out before launching a war.

They have agreed to assist the re-opening of the Straits only after Trump ends the war. They will not go anywhere near the Straits until the fighting ends.

France will never take part in operations to unblock Hormuz Strait amid hostilities: Macron

European states have been largely sidelined as the US-Israeli war on Iran has escalated, with Iran carrying out strikes against Israel, US bases and Gulf states

This is a classic example of real military ignorance.

In any conflict, the enemy gets a vote.

Remember that.

The plans to keep it open seem to have hit a snag. It has nothing to do with figuring it out. Sometimes, you have to adapt and figure it out on the fly.

Closure of the strait is not unexpected.

You know that you you have zero credibility. Like your “sources.”

Which is what I said.

Iran gets a vote in this, so it is going to take a bit longer than anticipated.

I don't think they're going to bow to your massive military strategy credentials.

 

[toobfreak]

I knew they would come around.

As usual, Trump made them an offer they could not refuse. I bet Trump told them that if NATO doesn't chip in and help with the Strait's oil flow which is more important to them than us, they could pretty much kiss goodbye any hopes of getting oil from VZ or Iran in the future once we deal with it all on our own.

Spain is a real disappointment, total bungholes.
