Germany denied that it could play a decisive role in the NATO Strait of Hormuz issue.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful openly stated that he does not expect the NATO alliance to play a decisive role in restoring navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Zamin.uz reported this.
Speaking to the media on the eve of a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Brussels, he emphasized that the alliance has not yet made any specific decision on this issue. According to the minister, the responsibility for ensuring peace and keeping the waterway permanently open is not currently assigned to NATO.
The German leader added that specific measures regarding the problems of the Strait of Hormuz are being seriously discussed within the framework of the European Union, but a final decisive decision has not yet been made. Wadeful emphasized that Germany continues its policy of seeking solutions through diplomatic channels and negotiations rather than demonstrating military force against the growing tensions in the region.
In his view, recent events in the Middle East have not yet reached the level of a direct military threat for NATO. These statements were made to the public against the backdrop of reports that Iranian drones entered Turkish airspace and were intercepted by NATO defense systems.
Furthermore, US President Donald Trump had called on NATO member states to actively participate in ensuring the security of the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that if the alliance does not take on this important task, a very heavy and unpleasant future may be expected for the world.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important oil and gas transport routes for the global economy. Any disruption or blockage at this strategic point could deal a serious blow not only to regional but also to global security and the economy.
Therefore, resolving the issue through dialogue and understanding is currently considered the most appropriate path.
