NEW: The UK alongside France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan expresses readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz 👇 gov.uk/government/new…

@UKinUSA @AliBunkallSKY Imagine releasing a statement like this without mentioning Israel and the US’s illegal attacks on Iran. The fucking shamelessness of it. Embarassment.

For pity’s sake - take a look at yourselves- the US and Israel started this just 3 weeks ago and are responsible. Iran is defending itself in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, Israel is murdering children with impunity, has invaded Lebanon and has twice assassinated Iranian negotiators in active negotiations.

@UKinUSA It’s fucking insane to blame Iran for responding to US war crimes you lying Nazi cunts

@UKinUSA FAFO

@UKinUSA @grok can you find a similar official statement from the #german government?

@UKinUSA @calxandr Here's a statement of Macron re: use of diplomacy to de-escalate tension. No statement of offensive attack towards Iran.

@UKinUSA Now we have to spend our taxpayer's money to sort out Trump's mess?

@UKinUSA ""The effects of Iran's actions?"" Whattt? It's their maritime zone, you idiots. It's their sovereignty. And it's tHe U.S. and Israel the ones who started this. FUCK YOU.

@UKinUSA You would all run back to sugar daddy Putin for your energy if we would allow you to. Europe has grown feckless and weak.

@UKinUSA Wow, that will certainly end the war and all the problems in the region! Nothing like a almost tersely worded statement to end a war and open the straits to shipping.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Trump has stated himself he doesn’t actually need or care about Europe’s help; he just wants Europe to share the political cost & fallout of HIS “fiasco.” You know Iran won’t stop as long as Trump continues to bomb the shit out of them in a war he started with a strategy that changes daily and NO imminent threat. The British people want to board Trump’s titanic?

@UKinUSA Where was the “fundamental principle of international law” when Maduro was kidnapped, Khamenei killed and the Minab schoolgirls bombed? Screw you.

@UKinUSA @CTurnerFCDO Do mention #Israel alongside #Iran. They started illegal war. They lobbed a projectile at the Bushehr nuclear facility; they targeted the south pars fields; they are destroying Iranian and Lebanese civilian infrastructure.

@UKinUSA Btw looking at replies Replies? ~90-95% roasting you for hypocrisy & lateness, ~5% maybe supportive (mostly grudgingly). Bold move, lads—truly winning hearts & minds! 😂 #Diplomacy"

@UKinUSA Why publish it in a format that's hard to read? Perhaps you don't really want people to read it.

The pattern is always the same: hesitation, hand-wringing, political theater — and only when the situation is already critical do they finally agree to do what was obviously necessary from the start. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic chokepoint for global energy and trade. Securing it is not optional, it’s a baseline responsibility. Delaying action doesn’t prevent escalation — it invites it. In the end, reality forces the decision anyway: markets react, supply chains tighten, and suddenly the ‘difficult choice’ becomes unavoidable. This isn’t leadership. It’s reactive crisis management at the expense of global stability.

I think it's quite clear, Trump is forcing a reality check: if allies won't defend their own vital interests in the Strait of Hormuz (where they get 80-90% of their oil), why should America keep subsidizing their security indefinitely? Decades of underinvestment and risk-aversion have left Europe and others ill-prepared for independent action, and he's making the point that true alliances require mutual burden-sharing, not one-way protection.

@UKinUSA Seems like fake News? Have'nt these governments stated the exsact opposide in their previous reactions to the request to contribute?

@UKinUSA We express our readiness to leave NATO. Defend yourselves.

@UKinUSA @mercoglianos The UK has made a farce of itself. Here’s a strongly-worded press release about Europeans standing in solidarity to support international shipping routes, shortly after you’ve all declined to send a single warship. Pitifully weak.

@UKinUSA Wtaf @Keir_Starmer! Are you serious? This war was started illegally by US and Israel yet zero condemnation of either of their actions. Why not demand THEY both end this immediately. Only USreal and their 'allies' aren't allowed safe passage so stop being a 🐩 to these criminals.

@UKinUSA @Brif83 People would take this more seriously if they called out Israel for escalating by bombing South Pars, and the US for launching an unwinnable war when they had a verifiable no nukes agreement in the bag.

A public relations statement for the western status quo — frame the response to endless illegal attacks from US, Israel and western allies as aggression. It’s sickening, but it’s clear there is no moral compass within the west — only self serving interests to maintain the status quo, however many babies, children, men and woman need to be murdered in the process. We all see you now, perhaps before there was more collective trust in some moral principles but it’s clear the British establishment and allies have no regard for human life, international law or taking a stand against the interests of the US establishment and Israeli project.

@UKinUSA @manaman_chhina I can't believe that a country being sanctioned for 40 years brought these so-called superpower to its knees.

@UKinUSA So when Trump asked for help in the Strait it was a no, now it’s “ready to ensure safe passage”? Sounds like the same thing to me, just worded nicer. Guess it’s easier to agree now than it was a few days ago...

@UKinUSA LOL What happened to "not our war"

@UKinUSA They become legitimate target for Iran with support of Russian missiles and intelligence. Good job...

@UKinUSA Wow they finally got a back bone and put there big boy paints on, after Israel and U.S.A. made the initial move. I guess common sense works. There is only one great leader and I am glade we have him.

@UKinUSA Why is there no condemnation of israel n US naked aggression ?

@Keir_Starmer couldn’t even make this straightforward decision unilaterally, instead he chose to anger the president of the United States, our greatest friend and ally, destroying the special relationship for the next few years , simply because he had to ask permission from his EU puppet masters as to whether or not he could contribute to the safety of international shipping performing their rights to save passage through international waters. We have the weakest most ineffective prime minister in British political history.

With the exception of Japan and Italy, most of the above Nations are Lead by INEFFECTIVE WEAK PATHETIC Men who love running their GLOBALIST BIG MOUTHS spouting Peace, while Criticizing others for ACTUALLY Fighting for it! They should be Thanking The USA and Israel for standing up to the World’s Bully! Trump and Netanyahu will long be remembered for their taking a Strong Stand against the Iranian Regime! NOW AFTER THE USA and ISRAEL have decimated Iran and been DOING ALL THE FIGHTING They want to offer to help!!! That’s like someone sitting on their ass all day and then having the gall to say, How can I help you, after you’ve been up since early morning, breaking your back with cleaning, scrubbing and deep cleaning and now all you have to do is one more tiny little thing before You can call it quits!! @realDonaldTrump @IsraeliPM @Keir_Starmer @EmmanuelMacron @FrankWalterSte4 @MinPres

@UKinUSA Sarajevo all over again...sleepwalking into a large scale global conflict over obligatory alliance invocation.

@UKinUSA @FCDOGovUK I ask for @sanchezcastejon to publish a declaration supporting the joint statement of UK, @francediplo, @GermanyDiplo, @ItalyMFA, @DutchMFA, and @MofaJapan_en; in which they express their will to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz @UKinChile
