Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul says Germany does not see a role for the NATO defence alliance in addressing the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran.
– “I don’t see that NATO has made any decision in this direction or could assume responsibility for the Strait of Hormuz. If that were the case, then the NATO bodies would address it accordingly,” Wadephul said before a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels.
– Trump has ratcheted up pressure on European allies to help protect the strait, warning that NATO faces a “very bad” future if its members fail to come to Washington’s aid.
