Marco Rubio pressures Europe to reopen the Strait of Hormuz

Marco Rubio arrived in the morning at the Abbey of Vaux-de-Cernay, near Paris, to participate in the second day of the G7 foreign ministers summitfocused primarily on the war in the Middle East and its global economic consequences.

On his first trip abroad since the offensive launched by the United States and Israel against Iran, the US Secretary of State will be pressured by his peers to clarify the strategy from the White House about this conflict, which has been going on for almost a month.

Marco Rubio is expected to ask the foreign ministers of Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Italy and Japan to help Washington reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been closed to “enemy” countries last night by the Iranians.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived at Le Bourget airport in France early Friday morning.

For the members of the G7, the North American mission is peremptory. First of all, it must contribute to opening the Strait of Hormuz and then modify its immigration policy. Demands that Europeans look at in amazement and convinced that their path is different, like that of their idiosyncrasy.

“We want allies who are proud of their culture,” said Marco Rubio, the American envoy who still loves Europe as long as it changes, after Vice President JD Vance’s insults in Munich.

For a year, Rubio has played the messenger of a United States that wants to reaffirm the transatlantic alliance more moderately. But subjecting it to certain conditions redefined, voluntarily or involuntarily, by Donald Trump.

Marco Rubio arrived in Vaux-de-Cernay to meet with his European counterparts, gathered around French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, to discuss the numerous current geopolitical crises. Just when American bases in the Persian Gulf have been destroyed by Iranian drones, the American military They have moved to the hotels of the Persian Gulf. Now Iran threatens to bomb them and warns civilians that don’t stay there.

“We are united spiritually and culturally. We want a strong Europe. We believe that Europe must survive, that our destiny is and will always be linked to yours, because we know that Europe’s destiny will never be free of consequences for ours. But, as in any relationship, effort is required. We ask for changes in the person we love,” Marco Rubio demanded in Munich.

In Munich, Rubio repeatedly invoked European cultural heritage to reaffirm a shared destiny. But he accompanied this civilizational rhetoric with a harsher message: Europe must rearm, reduce its economic vulnerabilities and regain control of their immigration policies.

The United States pressures Britain to open the Strait of Hormuz. She has “the expertise.” Prime Minister Keir Starmer will accept no pressure other than “the national interest.” But next week it could no diesel in Britain and Europe.

The British Foreign Secretary accused Iran at the G7 “of hold the world economy hostageHe urged “a prompt resolution of the conflict in the Middle East.”

“We want a prompt resolution to the conflict that restores regional security and stability and allows for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz,” Foreign Minister Cooper declared on the second day of the G7 summit near Paris.

As fighting escalated between Lebanese Hezbollah and the Israel Defense Forces, former French Foreign Minister and Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian criticized Israel’s “disproportionate reaction” in Lebanon.

“Israel’s reaction It is disproportionate. “Israel also attacks the civilian population, directly or indirectly,” the former Defense Minister declared on BFMTV-RMC. “Lebanon became involved in the Middle East war on March 2, after the Islamist movement Hezbollah respond in support of Iran”, he clarified.

“Hezbollah is choosing Iran over Lebanon,” former Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian observed today, three weeks after the Islamist movement dragged Lebanon into war by supporting its Iranian ally against Israel.

“Lebanon is mired in chaos, in a new tragedy that seems like an endless cycle. But what is new is that there is a truly brave government” that recognizes “the responsibility of Hezbollah,” continued the representative of the President of the Republic for Lebanon.

Former Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian considers that the deployment of US soldiers in Iran would intensify the war in the Middle East.

“If, by any chance, the Americans decide a new ground intervention, it would be an escalation. “Or if, by chance, the ultimatum is implemented, it would be an even greater escalation,” he declared on BFMTV. “There is considerable potential for the war to escalate,” the former minister insisted.

On the 28th day of the war in Iran, “to get out of the crisis, two, or even three parts are needed” he continued, referring to Israel’s role. “We are at a crossroads. Talks are taking place. Everything indicates that Donald Trump wants to withdraw from the war“declared the representative of the French president in Lebanon.
