Europe has signalled it will not escalate militarily in the Strait of Hormuz, distancing itself from the US-Iran conflict. EU Vice President Kaja Kallas said there is no appetite to expand Operation ASPIDES, stressing that Europe is not part of the war. However, the bloc remains deeply concerned about disruptions to food, fertiliser, and energy shipments. As tensions intensify in the Gulf, the EU is prioritising trade security while avoiding direct involvement in the conflict.#EU #IranWar #HormuzStrait #KajaKallas #GlobalTrade #OilCrisis #MiddleEastTensions #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #RedSea
