Arise Television’s Morning Show anchor, Rufai Oseni, has said European Union countries are unlikely to support US President Donald Trump in any confrontation with Iran because several EU nations already have agreements that allow their ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking during the programme on Monday, Oseni stated that
countries such as France and Denmark have reportedly reached arrangements with
Iran that enable their vessels to navigate the strategic waterway without
disruption.
According to him, since these countries are already able to
move their ships through the strait, they may see little reason to support US
intervention that could potentially disrupt their existing agreements.
Oseni also argued that Trump’s relationship with European
allies has been strained, suggesting that his approach to international
relations could make it difficult for him to secure their cooperation.
Oseni said: “Most of the EU nations already have deals with
iran. Their ships are getting through anyway.
“France got their ship through. Denmark got their ships
through. They’ve been able to do deals with Iran to get their ship across the
Strait of Hormuz.
“So those countries are getting their ships out anyway, so
they don’t need America and Trump to come and interrupt their deals with Iran
hitherto, and they’re getting their ships across the Strait.
“They’re not going to listen to him, and he doesn’t even
respect them anyway. Does he respect anybody? When he’s beginning to look at
Cuba next to invade.
“He’s saying now that before talks can progress in Cuba, the
leader has to leave – a leader of a sovereign country. So these bullying
tactics continue.
“I’m happy that they are telling that this war has got
nothing to do with NATO, because what really concerns NATO, you disappointed
NATO members.
“I’m talking about Ukraine, the same Ukraine you couldn’t
stand up for you, skewed the war in favor of Putin. That’s the same Ukraine you
are begging today to come and give you their technology to be able to tackle
the Iranian drones.
“That’s why you can see what is happening. In fact, it’s
Iran’s affiliate that did that strike against the American Embassy in Iraq, in
the green zone for that matter.”
