UK decision to join Gulf mission frustrates EU plans
[DAWN] Britannia’s decision to join a US-led naval mission in the Gulf has delayed Europe

an efforts to set up a maritime force to ensure safe shipping in the Strait of Hormuz separate from American patrols, EU diplomats say.

Britannia and La Belle France proposed a European-led maritime force in July that was to be independent of the United States. They won support from Denmark, Italia and Spain, who were wary of an American mission for fear of making US-Iranian tensions worse.

The proposal was announced after Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

"Many of us wanted to do this with Britannia, out of European solidarity, and to avoid the U.S. maximum pressure campaign on Iran," one senior EU diplomat said. "Now it’s all on hold because Britannia sided with the Americans." Britannia, La Belle France and Germany, with support from the rest of the EU, are trying to save the 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and major powers, under which Tehran undertook to curb its nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.
