At least it’s not just Spain… Donald Trump has gone and directly described them as “cowards” by not collaborate in its operation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. And he promises that in the US we will “remember” his lack of support.
For Trump “Without the US, NATO is a paper tiger“, as he expresses with evident anger in his Truth Social profile. There he assures that the 31 remaining partners “did not want to join the fight to stop an Iran with nuclear weapons.”
“Now that that battle is won militarily, with very little danger to them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but they do not want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver which is the only reason for high oil prices.” “So easy for them to do it, with so little risk. ¡Cowards, and we will remember“, he publishes on his network, warning in his own way of possible future measures, in recent days.
For days now, Trump has also been dropping that his determination to set up an operation to reopen the strait blocked by Iran is in attention to the rest of the countries because the US does not depend on trade through that route.
“It is appropriate that the people who are beneficiaries of the strait help ensure that nothing bad happens there,” he noted in direct reference to Europe and Chinafor being the great dependents of this enclave which concentrates a good part of the oil they receive.
Since the beginning of the American-Israeli offensive against Tehran, the Iranian regime has in much of the world and, with it, a general rise in prices. The Revolutionary Guard has attacked numerous vessels in the area, where they only allow some freighters from allied countries to circulate.
