NATO CONSIDERING LAUNCHING ONE OF THE MOST RISKY OPERATIONS! Strait of Hormuz on the brink of EXPLOSION!

TL;DR

  • NATO is considering sending warships to the Strait of Hormuz by July.
  • The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global route for oil and gas, accounting for one-fifth of world trade.
  • The potential NATO deployment is being discussed without a peace agreement between the US and Iran.
  • Unanimous consent from all NATO members is required for such a decision.
  • Some NATO members, including Spain, are hesitant to participate due to fears of being drawn into a larger conflict.
  • General Alexis Grinkevič stated that planning is dependent on a political decision.
  • The Strait of Hormuz is currently blocked by both the US and Iran.
  • US President Donald Trump has threatened renewed strikes on Iran if they do not abandon their nuclear program.
  • Trump revealed he was close to approving strikes but was asked to wait by leaders from Gulf countries.
  • Iran has submitted a new proposal including a cessation of hostilities, withdrawal of US forces, and war reparations.
  • This proposal reportedly differs little from one previously rejected by Trump.
  • Tensions are rising on the ground, with the UAE investigating six drone attacks on civilian targets, including a nuclear power plant.
  • These drone attacks are believed to have originated from Iraq, involving Iran-aligned Shiite militias.
  • US intelligence assesses that Iran's missile arsenal has fared better than expected against US-Israeli bombardment, with many missiles stored in underground tunnels.
