A coalition of at least 35 nations was set to gather virtually on Thursday — without the U.S. — to explore ways to reopen the strait. The talks, hosted by Britain, included France, Germany, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates and the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas.
Lesser argued that reopening the strait by force would require the US and European allies to work together. “Ideally, this [Starmer’s coalition] would not be a replacement for US forces, but rather a larger coalition operating alongside the US,” he said.
Trump said Japan and South Korea don't want to use military force. India and China won't. That leaves the NATO countries, who don't want to get into a war with Iran.
What to do when Iran terrorizes the world and the US doesn't do all the heavy lifting?
Trump is showing that it takes will power and military power to take nuclear weapons off of Iran.
The UN is no help since Russia and China side with Iran.
