    The line is:

    We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait.

    That is not quite the same thing as safeguard. Appropriate efforts can just be working on peace in the region and brining in some minesweepers to clean up the strait after the fighting ends. My understanding is that most of these countries have ruled out opening the strait by military means.

      Well the better bring in air defence to stop Israel from continued bombings. Then maybe the can get Iran to calm down. The big issue is Iran will want safe guards against western aggression. They have nothing to gain otherwise.

        Most of these countries are probably low key happy about the war. It distracts the US from invading Greenland for example. The only big issue is that the strait should be open, so the oil price does not go even higher.

          Assuming the article I saw wasn’t AI or just plain fake, he’s already gloating about siezing Cuba

          He’s a child who gets board, but I also think he wants so much civil unrest inside the US he can cancel the elections
