@zerohedge “Trump keeps saying Iran has been ‘completely destroyed,’ yet now he expects China to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
If the threat is already gone, why ask China to secure the passage?
Sounds less like strength and more like contradiction.”

President Macron speaks about “de-escalation” and “peace,” yet France continues military operations in the region and backs policies that fuel the very tensions he warns about.

You cannot call for stability while simultaneously expanding military involvement and taking sides in an already volatile conflict.

If the goal is truly peace and security in the Middle East, then diplomacy and balanced pressure must come before military posturing.

If the U.S. Energy Secretary says the conflict with Iran will end in the next few weeks…
What developments are happening behind the scenes that make them so confident?

Are negotiations already underway, or is a decisive military phase coming soon?

“The Trump administration intends to announce, possibly this week, that several countries will agree to form a coalition to provide escorts for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

They are still debating whether those operations will begin before or after the end of the war.”

NEW: Trump admin as soon as this week plans to announce that multiple countries have agreed to form a coalition that will escort ships through Strait of Hormuz, U.S. officials said.

They are still discussing whether those operations would begin before or after hostilities end.

Trump is frustrated that his forces cannot open the Strait of Hormuz, as Trump asked his chief of staff why they have not been able to open the strait yet?! The answer was:

"Any Iranian can ride a small boat with a missile launch base that can launch a missile at a giant oil tanker or stick a mine in it"!

• The stinker completely ignored the Trump administration's warnings not to target energy facilities in Iran, and targeted more than one of its origin, arguing that the view of "black smoke" over Tehran would encourage demonstrators to rise against the regime.

Europe will meet on Monday to discuss a plan to expand the fleet of "Aspides" that is the subject of protecting ships, but it is unlikely that the protection of ships will be discussed in the Strait of Hormuz.

• The Aspides fleet was formed in 2024 to protect ships in Bab al-Mandab, but the mission of this fleet has not been successful, encouraging Europeans to agree to Trump's request

(Reuters) - European Union foreign ministers will discuss on Monday bolstering a small naval mission in the Middle East but are not expected to decide on extending its role to the choked-off Strait of Hormuz, diplomats and officials say.

The EU’s Aspides mission was established in 2024 to protect ships from attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebel group in the Red Sea. It currently has an Italian and a Greek ship under its direct command and can also call upon a French ship and another Italian vessel for support.

With the Strait of Hormuz largely shut off since the United States and Israel began attacking Iran on February 28, some European officials have pondered whether the EU mission could be part of an effort to restore freedom of navigation in the Gulf.

Iran's ability to choke off traffic through the strait, the conduit for a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas, has emerged as a major threat to the global economy.

But EU officials and diplomats said ministers’ discussions on Monday in Brussels would likely focus on a push by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas to add more ships to the mission.

“The conversation on Monday will be about trying to have more member states contribute further capacities,” said a senior EU official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

GERMAN MINISTER SCEPTICAL ABOUT EXPANSION TO STRAIT OF HORMUZ

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on Sunday that Aspides – named after the Greek word for “shields” - was not even effective in carrying out its current task.

"That ⁠is why I am very sceptical that extending Aspides ​to ​the ⁠Strait of Hormuz would provide ​greater security," ​he ⁠said in an interview with Germany’s ARD television.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, Britain and other countries impacted by the curbing of oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz to join efforts to ​reopen shipping lanes.

New footage reportedly shows a major strike targeting the Air Force Command in Isfahan, Iran.

The attack comes amid escalating military operations across Iranian territory as the conflict continues to intensify.

According to a CNN report, Iranian missiles equipped with cluster warheads could be nearly impossible to fully intercept.

Even if defenses hit the missile, the bomblets can still scatter and fall across a wide area — potentially affecting up to 12 km from a single strike.

Easy to call for “smart strikes” and escalation when you’re speaking safely from outside the country.

As an American, I’ve seen what happens when outside forces try to reshape another country through pressure and conflict. It rarely ends the way people promise.

Iranians deserve freedom and a future they choose themselves — not another cycle of chaos, proxy wars, and foreign intervention.

Trump: “Many countries will send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.”

Also Trump in the same post:
“I hope China, France, Japan, South Korea and the UK send ships.”

So apparently “many countries” means… hopefully they show up.

Tensions are rising after reports that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned of targeting UAE ports following U.S. missile launches from the region.
Today, smoke was reportedly seen near Fujairah Port after debris from an intercepted Iranian missile fell nearby.
If ports and energy hubs become targets, how far could this escalation spread?”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warns that if Iranian facilities are targeted, U.S.-linked companies in the region could also become targets.
If this escalates, could the conflict spread from military sites to economic infrastructure across the Middle East?”
