Brussels wants to launch a bespoke EU mission to protect commercial vessels in the Red Sea from attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
In a document dated January 10 and seen by Euronews, the EU’s diplomatic service proposes sending “at least three” warships with “multi mission capabilities” to the region as early as next month.
The document recommends the “fast-tracking implementation” of an operation mandated to act “from the Red Sea to the Gulf,” in order to protect maritime security in a region plagued by instability in recent weeks.
The US: " we don’t want an escalation of tensions in the middle east." The US then proceeds to escalate tensions in the middle east.
It’s one of the most glaring examples of disconnect between what they’re saying and what they’re doing that I’ve seen.
The US is lying about their intent again to no one’s surprise.
