Europe Refuses to Join US Hormuz Naval Patrol Until Truce Is Confirmed
⚓ HORMUZ — Europe won't patrol the strait until Washington proves the truce holds. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: European navies joining before Thursday would commit them politically to a co-belligerent posture ahead of any deal. Withholding signals Brussels won't absorb that cost while Iran FM is already calling Kallas. For Washington, it exposes coalition fracture at the moment Tehran is reading allied unity. The US patrols alone or waits.
