Foreign ministers from EU countries discussed options to secure the Strait of Hormuz but decided against expanding their naval operations in the region. It comes after President Donald Trump has appealed for European allies to support the US’s efforts to secure the vital waterway after Iran effectively closed it.
“Europe has no interest in an open-ended war,” Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, told journalists in Brussels on Monday evening after the meeting. She noted that the EU’s Red Sea naval force, Operation Aspides, already “plays a key role in safeguarding the freedom of navigation.”

Look into the Adelsons…Trumps largest doners, zionists, with Iran in check, Israel is largest power in middle east.
I wonder when people in media misleading the public will be punished?
Your regime is most wanted terrorists in the world 😢😢😢
@investwithjeff If someone does that I’ll let you know. The reporting is accurate. maga hates truth. Is your name Carr??
I initially gave a thumbs up, but removed it, as I can’t support a round table of paid maga liars and frauds. CNN needs to stick to facts, true experts in fields, not maga disinformation fountains.
A round table like this is the wrong format. It is not “hearing from all sides,” it is paid liars spreading propaganda and trying diversions and reframing. This is disrespectful to the soldiers there.
ABBEY THE SHILL FOR THE DNC
Trump tested and those that failed are now on the list…….NATO HAS TO GO!!!! PULL TROOPS FROM NATO COUNTRIES THAT FAILED!
Trump is a liar . He is doing nothing to actually open the straits and the US Naval blockade is way to the East of the Straits in the Gulf of Oman . So far away from the Straits that Iran has control of the Straits . Trump is trying to force allies to risk their ships and sailors to go closer into the Straits to actually open them while the US stands back . That is why no one wants to go in and help because they would be taking all the risk while US stands back . No way . Trump wants to dump NATO but now wants their help . Lunacy . Trump’s Admin has fired or retired ( pushed out ) over 200 Pentagon people , many of the most experienced people and replaced them with yes men and woman .Trump has made more World enemies than Russia’s Stalin !
Cowards and f overs and f NATO they take our money and say fu
Why should have a bar fight when you initiated the fight, and you just weigh 100 lbs.😂😂😂?
The good part is that Russia, China, and India, also said we are drinking with you. We don’t believe you 🫏
This war has never been a good idea from the start
Trump started a war didn’t inform anybody and now he’s wants help if you can’t handle the heat don’t start a fire
Iran was so far away from having nuclear weapons, let alone the delivery system. Go and attack North Korea if that’s your issue, oh sorry I forgot they don’t have vast oil reserves 😂
He is a joke – nothing he says is true. Europe is not someone you pull favors from right after you threaten their territory. It is not a NATO matter.
He’s started it , the straits were open before he decided to fight Isreal’s war with the genocidal murderer. Netanyahu….now he wants uk Europe to help him open the straits ….you couldn’t make it up ….
The uk have learned from Iraq , lies lies and more lies were told to justify invading Iraq , same here with Iran
CNN is garbage!
Grampa you started this war now finish it on your own just like u say you dont need them
🫴🏿Having served in Baghdad (2007-09) during OIF, I witnessed firsthand the complexities of “coalitions of the willing.” That experience proved that enduring stability isn’t achieved through forced compliance or overcomplicating friction points. True leadership requires a shift from reactive division to proactive coordination. Moving forward, we must unite international partners under clear promotional efforts for peace, establishing practical frameworks to mitigate global conflagrations before they escalate. Forcing alignment is counterproductive; the focus must remain on building voluntary, robust frameworks that secure a stable, unified path forward.#STAYTUNED📨
