Denmark backs Britain's proposed Hormuz naval mission
[Saudi Gazette] Denmark said on Friday it welcomed a British government proposal for a Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...an-led naval mission to ensure safe shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and would consider a military maritime contribution. Britannia has sought to assemble the mission in Hormuz, used by tankers carrying about a fifth of the world's oil, following Iran's seizure of a British-flagged ship in what London said was an act of "state piracy". The initiative won initial support from Denmark, La Belle France and Italia, three senior diplomats said on Tuesday. "The Danish government looks positively towards a possible contribution to such initiative," Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod said in a statement. "The initiative will have a strong European footprint". The backing contrasts with a lukewarm response shown by European allies to a similar American call first voiced at NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... in late June, which was resisted by La Belle France and Germany. They worried the US-led military alliance would be dragged into a possible confrontation with Iran.
