Presiden Donald Trump, melalui Menteri Pertahanan Pete Hegseth, telah memerintahkan penarikan sekitar 5.000 tentara AS dari Jerman akibat kurangnya dukungan sekutu Eropa terhadap operasi AS melawan Iran, termasuk upaya pembukaan kembali Selat Hormuz. Juru bicara Pentagon Sean Parnell mengumumkan bahwa langkah ini diambil setelah peninjauan postur kekuatan militer dan akan berlangsung selama enam hingga dua belas bulan, yang terutama akan memengaruhi tim tempur brigade serta menghentikan rencana penempatan batalion tembakan jarak jauh. Keputusan ini memenuhi ancaman sebelumnya dan meningkatkan ketegangan dengan Kanselir Jerman Friedrich Merz terkait ambisi nuklir Iran dan konflik yang sedang berlangsung.
Amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis, Germany's navy has taken concrete steps following earlier planning: the minehunter “Fulda” departed Kiel-Wik for the Mediterranean, and supply ship “Mosel” is being pulled from a NATO Aegean mission to support it. Both will join NATO Mine Countermeasures Group 2, ready for potential strait deployment pending Bundestag approval.
