U.S. efforts to establish an global coalition to safe shipping in the Strait of Ormuz have turned into a “contagion” as Washington's partners are reluctant to assist, reported the Axios portal on Monday, citing sources.
The US and Israel attacks on Iran and Tehran's retaliatory attacks have led to disruptions in the flow of oil through the Ormuz Strait.
In fact, the closure of 1 of the most crucial points of intersection of energy routes in the planet caused a shock wave on planet oil markets, and Brent's oil price sometimes exceeded $100 per barrel.
According to Axios, US president Donald Trump's administration lobbied in countries specified as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Canada, Japan and South Korea, as well as in respective Gulf and Jordan states to supply warships or another forms of support for the mission to safe regional shipping routes.
However, according to the portal, the responses of possible partners ranged from ‘scepticalism to “absolutely not”’.
Germany, Italy and Japan have reportedly ruled out the dispatch of warships while France remains uncertain.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer was described as "open to the future", and London has developed a proposal to set up an global task force, as reported by Axios sources.
However, the Action Plan was not made available to all the countries invited, and 1 European diplomat described the negotiations as "mess”, telling the portal that "many people are confused".
Publicly, EU's leading diplomacy Kaja Kallas stated that in the block "no desire” to participate in the US-led coalition against Iran, and German defence minister Boris Pistorius stated that “This is not our war, we have not begun it”.
Meanwhile, Trump warned that NATO could face “a very bad future”if its European members refuse to participate.
The war against Iran continues without a clear end, and "Washington Post" reported, citing sources that Trump had received “very sobering briefing” concerning the maintenance by the Iranian authorities of strong control of the country.
The paper added that Trump was warned that the government in Tehran could consolidate power alternatively than fall.
"It wasn't just predictable," said an informant from WaPo. ‘It was planned. He was informed in advance."
