Nato overvejer flådemission i Hormuz-strædet

I kølvandet på en våbenhvile mellem USA, Israel og Iran vokser presset på Europa for at deltage i en flådemission, der skal sikre skibsfarten i Den Persiske Golf. Bag kulisserne overvejes det at rammesætte missionen som en Nato-operation. Alliancen forbereder et udspil til Washington.

USA, Israel og Iran er blevet enige om en våbenhvile i Den Persiske Golf. Europæiske diplomater i Bruxelles presser nu på for at blive involveret i en flådemission, der skal sikre Hormuz-strædet, skriver Handelsblatt.

I Nato-kredse lyder det: "Det taler meget for at organisere dette som en Nato-mission." Årsagen er, at det ville involvere amerikanerne og give alliancen mulighed for at bevise sit værd over for USA. En fremgangsmåde kunne være at starte som en 'koalition af villige' og integrere den i Nato-strukturerne ved topmødet i Ankara i juli.

Tyskland deltager også i drøftelserne. Forbundskansler Friedrich Merz (CDU) talte onsdag i telefon med USA's præsident Donald Trump. Våbenhvilen og den diplomatiske indsats vedrørende strædet var på dagsordenen, men ifølge den tyske regering blev der ikke diskuteret konkrete bidrag fra Bundesmarine.

U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States no longer needs naval assistance from NATO allies, South Korea, Japan or Australia to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, citing 'military success' against Iran. He posted this on Truth Social and called NATO's refusal a 'foolish mistake' during a White House meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin. The Strait carries one-fifth of the world's oil supply.

Som opfølgning på sine seneste advarsler kritiserede USA's præsident Donald Trump skarpt NATO-allierede i Det Hvide Hus for at nægte at hjælpe med at sikre Hormuzstrædet midt i den igangværende konflikt mellem USA og Iran. Han kaldte deres holdning for en "meget dum fejltagelse" og luftede muligheden for, at USA ville trække sig ud af alliancen. Den tyske kansler Friedrich Merz afviste enhver tysk militær involvering.

The Indian government on April 8, 2026, welcomed the US-Iran ceasefire agreement brokered by Pakistan close to the deadline. The Ministry of External Affairs called for an early end to the conflict and unimpeded trade flow through the Strait of Hormuz.
