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.
That doesn’t bode well for Iran. Is there anything they can do about that?
It’s not good for Iran but it doesn’t change the scales too much. These countries don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare nor the materiel to pursue it.
I can imagine them gathering their whole populations in a magic circle to performa sacrificial ritual for the sake of Israel and the US. They have no self preservation, just a desire for racism, genocide, and destruction.
The only real threats are the UK and France
