    Not inviting Iran and Oman to these talks is a dick move and also just stupid. It is their territorial waters, and Iran will have military control over Hormuz by the end of the war, so any plan that doesn’t involve them is likely to get rained on by missiles.

      So it’s like when Trump talks to Russia and declares the war in Ukraine over (so long as Ukraine meets conditions x, y & z), without actually speaking to Ukraine?

        Yes. But that’s just a dick move, because while it sucks there’s not much Ukraine can realistically do about it.

        Meanwhile this is also stupid because Iran clearly holds all the cards (and anti-ship missiles) there.

      The war is between US/Israel with their proxies and Iran with their proxies. Europe is not a party to it but is being held hostage so not inviting Iran isn’t exactly shocking although it might be rather unproductive without them. I don’t think Europe has any tools to deal with the situation either way.

    I can see your lips moving, but the thunder of your actions drown out your words.
