US calls on Germany to join naval mission in Strait of Hormuz amid tensions with Iran
The United States on Tuesday ramped up pressure on Germany to join the U.S.-led endeavor to secure a strategic shipping waterway in the Persian Gulf in the face of rising tensions between Washington and Iran.
The request, reported by Agence France-Presse, follows the United Kingdom’s move last week to increase in its military presence in the region to escort UK-flagged ships in the Strait of Hormuz. That came after Iranian forces seized a British tanker in the strait.
“We've formally asked Germany to join France and the UK to help secure the Strait of Hormuz and combat Iranian aggression,” U.S. embassy spokeswoman Tamara Sternberg-Greller in a statement to AFP.
“Members of the German government have been clear that freedom of navigation should be protected… Our question is, protected by whom?”
Germany has been hesitant to show any military strength in the Gulf. Politicians and officials there are afraid a naval mission could escalate tensions with Iran and potentially start a conflict. Furthermore, military force is anathema to many Germans across the political spectrum due to the country's legacy of Nazism, while President Trump is widely disliked by German voters.
The strain between Washington and Tehran, set off by Trump’s decision last year to withdraw the United States from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and impose economic sanctions on Tehran, have created a simmering hotbed of tit-for-tat skirmishes in the Gulf.
