Leaders seek a diplomatic solution despite US president’s threat of ‘a very bad future’ for NATO unless it provides warships

European countries have ruled out sending warships to the strait of Hormuz, despite threats from Donald Trump that NATO faces “a very bad future” if members fail to help reopen the vital waterway.

Germany ruled out participation in any military activity, including efforts to reopen the strait. “There was never a joint decision on whether to intervene. That is why the question of how Germany might contribute militarily does not arise. We will not do so,” the chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said.

He added: “This Iranian regime must come to an end,” but that “based on all the experience we have gained in previous years and decades, bombing it into submission is, in all likelihood, not the right approach.”

To the contrary, I said Europe should strike a deal with Iran independent of the US if necessary. Trump wants regime change, but Europe's goal should simply be to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons.

you said your dumb deal should include Europe invading Iran if they don't accept an impossible deal since Iran never tried to acquire a nuke . You are so dumb.

[–] panthera_@lemmy.today -1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Why is the deal impossible? Are you now saying that Iran wants to build nuclear weapons? If Europe's goal is the same as the US, why isn't Europe heeding Trump's request to send ships to the strait of Hormuz?

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Europe is not even invading Russia for the invasion of Ukraine and your dumb brain tell you they will invade Iran. How dumb you be

why isn’t Europe heeding Trump’s request to send ships to the strait of Hormuz? Because it is suicidal for them , they prefer letting the strongest military to do it for them

[–] panthera_@lemmy.today -1 points 6 hours ago

Iran is not as strong as Russia. But rejecting Trump will incur his wrath. If Europe has the same goal as Trump, why not send a several ships to appease him? A better explanation is that Europe doesn't share Trump's views on Iran.
