The promise made by EU foreign ministers on Monday not to take part in the war against Iran (“This is not our war”) lasted just three days. On Thursday, the heads of state and government of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK and Japan issued a joint statement in which they pledged to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

The statement makes no mention whatsoever of the US and Israel, which attacked Iran 20 days ago in violation of international law and have been bombing it non-stop ever since. Instead, it blames the victim for the war and accuses Iran of breaking international law.

    They have litterally said they only go under “certain circumstaces” - which is not missiles and drones in the area. If there isn’t made a deal before hand, no allys.

      Yeah okay. Like I said good luck to them. You seem convinced, so let’s see. The US would love nothing more to play a Netanyahu & put their troops in harm’s way. Trump can promise all he wants but once they die for Israel as well then they’ll get dragged in.
