Probably to clear the strait of Iranian mines, duh.[/quote]

Yeah, right.

This is so sick.

I feel so badly for those proud Americans who signed up to fight to protect their country.

Here, they are protecting Israel. And they are protecting the billionaires including Trump who what to steal Iran's oil.

Iran poses no direct threat to the US. Our soldiers should not be sent to die in this undeclared war that's begun by Trump as a distraction from Epstein.

I have family in the military. They did NOT sign up for this.

What a bizarrely naive comment.  They’re not “protecting Israel.”  The US (and other countries) are trying to open the Strait so that oil can be supplied around the world.  Why is the strait closed?  Because Iran chose to lay its mines there.  Take it up with Iran.[/quote]
No other country is trying to open the Strait.  The US caused this, and the rest of the world is waiting for us to fix it.  
And our most recent action was to blockade the Strait, which is kind of the opposite to opening it.  [/quote]

I guess you live under a rock?

Joint statement from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Denmark, Latvia, Slovenia, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Czechia, Romania, Bahrain, Lithuania, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Portugal, Trinidad & Tobago, Croatia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Panama, North Macedonia, Nigeria, Montenegro, Albania, Marshall Islands, Chile, Moldova, Greece, Somalia and Slovakia on the Strait of Hormuz.

We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces.

We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817.

Freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of international law, including under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

The effects of Iran’s actions will be felt by people in all parts of the world, especially the most vulnerable.

Consistent with UNSC Resolution 2817, we emphasise that such interference with international shipping and the disruption of global energy supply chains constitute a threat to international peace and security. In this regard, we call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations.

[b]We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning.[/b]

We welcome the International Energy Agency decision to authorise a coordinated release of strategic petroleum reserves. We will take other steps to stabilise energy markets, including working with certain producing nations to increase output.

We will also work to provide support for the most affected nations, including through the United Nations and the IFIs.

Maritime security and freedom of navigation benefit all countries. We call on all states to respect international law and uphold the fundamental principles of international prosperity and security.
