Den tyske flåde planlægger indsættelse i Hormuzstrædet

Midt i den igangværende krise i Hormuzstrædet, hvor der trods en tidligere våbenhvile mellem USA, Israel og Iran ikke er udsigt til en varig våbenhvile, er den tyske flåde begyndt på konkrete planer for en mulig udsendelse for at sikre strædet. Forsvarsminister Boris Pistorius har skitseret forudsætningerne, herunder en juridisk ramme og et mandat fra Forbundsdagen.

Forsvarsminister Boris Pistorius (SPD) udtalte i ARD-programmet «Bericht aus Berlin», at planlægningen er i gang, herunder koordinering med partnere om missionens sammensætning. Det befinder sig dog stadig på et tidligt stadie, da der mangler en varig våbenhvile, et juridisk grundlag og godkendelse fra Forbundsdagen. «Vi er langt fra det punkt,» bemærkede han. Pistorius understregede Tysklands Nato-førende ekspertise inden for minerydning, hvilket gør landet til en central bidragyder, hvis betingelserne er opfyldt. Forbundskansler Friedrich Merz (CDU) gentog lignende forudsætninger – en FN-resolution og en beslutning i Forbundsdagen – ved den nylige Hormuz-konference, som Frankrig tog initiativ til. Den parlamentariske støtte er fortsat usikker. Missionen ville kræve prioritering af opgaver på grund af begrænset udstyr. Over 20 angreb på handelsskibe har lagt pres selv på den amerikanske flåde. Pistorius advarede mod at handle uden amerikansk involvering med henvisning til deres overlegne situationsfornemmelse, og han indrammede det som Tysklands interesse som verdens tredjestørste økonomi i at sikre fri sejlads – ikke som et signal til USA's præsident Donald Trump.
