They oppose a US-led naval effort until Iran&#8217;s truce is confirmed, reflecting limited support among European allies. While Britain emphasizes maritime security cooperation without backing offensive action against Iran,Iran asserts control over the strait,viewing it as their sovereign property following recent conflicts. Meanwhile,the United States,after pausing attacks on iran,has indicated an intention to resume military actions,with President Trump promising strong retaliation for Iranian missile strikes. The situation involves diplomatic discussions among US, UK, and French defence officials to ensure maritime safety, amid ongoing tensions and Iran\u2019s firm stance on controlling the vital waterway.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>European nations are strongly in favor of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open; they are just not so keen on playing a role in that process.<\/p>\n<p>A new report says Europe is not interested in an American proposal to develop a joint Strait of Hormuz patrol until there is no reason for patrolling because the war is over, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2026\/07\/28\/iran-us-strait-ofhormuz-allies-patrol-01013659\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has gained some ground with British Defense Minister Wes Streeting, but beyond that the concept has little to no support, Politico reported, saying it relied on \u201cfour British officials and one U.S. official\u201d who were not named.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf7 European countries refuse to support a US-led naval patrol in the Strait of Hormuz until the truce with Iran is confirmed to continue, per Politico<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Megatron (@Megatron_ron) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Megatron_ron\/status\/2082222039163716032?\">July 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"plain-text-block\">The American concept is that allies would meet in London to determine who could do what, including hunting for mines or guarding ships that pass through the strait.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"plain-text-block\">\n<p>The report said the concept grew from a call Friday between Hegseth and Streeting in which they spoke of how allies could play a role without supporting attacks on Iran.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"plain-text-block\">Hegseth and Streeting spoke Monday with French Armed Forces Minister Catherine Vautrin to discuss how to \u201cwork together to reassure shipping across the region,\u201d a British source said.<\/p>\n<p>Streeting will still talk with fellow defense leaders, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defense secretary has been having constructive discussions with allies on diplomatic and military efforts to strengthen maritime security, and these will continue in the coming days,\u201d one of two U.K. officials said.<\/p>\n<p>Streeting said Sunday that Britain has \u201cnot joined and will not join offensive U.S. military action in Iran.
