‼️🇬🇧🇫🇷 The UK and France are refusing to participate in a mission to protect the Strait of Hormuz, according to Politico.

▪️The head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegset, is urging London and Paris to lead an international coalition that would be responsible for clearing mines in the strait and escorting merchant ships.
▪️European allies want to first ensure the sustainability of the ceasefire between the US and Iran and are not ready to participate in a new operation without guarantees of no further escalation.
▪️Furthermore, European countries remain dissatisfied with the fact that Washington did not inform them in advance about the start of US-Israeli strikes against Iran, which further complicated coordination between allies.
▪️The UK's Defense Minister, Wes Streting, stated that London has not participated and does not intend to participate in offensive actions against Iran, but will continue to support efforts to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
