🚨🇺🇸🇬🇧 Europe is refusing to join Trump’s Strait of Hormuz patrol until the war actually stops.
-Hegseth is urging the UK and France to help lead a naval coalition securing the strait, but allies won’t commit without an enduring ceasefire first, per four British officials and one American
-The plan: a London conference defining which countries’ warships hunt sea mines and protect shipping, though officials say it “has not progressed very far”
-The UK’s Streeting drew the line publicly: Britain “has not joined and will not join offensive US military action in Iran,” but on securing commercial shipping, “that’s where we are absolutely aligned”
-The grievance underneath, per Sen. Coons: “No consultation with Congress, no consultation with allies, just boom… You can’t be surprised when you throw a party and you don’t invite anybody”
-The numbers driving the ask: ZERO oil tankers crossed Hormuz July 27, Bab el-Mandeb transits are down 22%, and Saudi-linked crossings have fallen 46% since the Houthi blockade
-The Navy strain is real too: two carriers deferring maintenance, with a former officer warning “at some point you’ve got to pay the piper”
Washington spent months berating allies for staying out of the war, and now needs their frigates to police the peace.
Europe’s answer is a receipt: partners get consulted before the bombs, not after the bill.
The patrol is the right idea for reopening the strait, and the allies want it too, just not while the ceasefire is something Iran’s own spokesman won’t call one.
The coalition will come… but only after the apology tour.

حديث مقتضب ومحرج بين نتنياهو وزيلينسكي تخللته مصافحة باردة وملامح ارتباك واضحة على وجه الأخير.
تم إبعاد زيلينسكي ليتراجع إلى الصف الخامس مع السفراء الأجانب.

China’s rapid progress is ending the bipolar nuclear era. In a tripolar nuclear environment, sapping America’s resolve could win a nuclear confrontation without a shot being fired. We should be thinking more about how we will resist Beijing’s influence.

🚨Update: Russian equipment once again flows to Iran through various channels, including missile and drone parts. Iran claims its weapons production is at full capacity right now, and never slowed down during the war!!
