DID Press: Reuters reports that several NATO allies have said they will not take part in a proposed plan by US President Donald Trump to impose a blockade on Iranian ports.
According to the report, some member states expressed concern over the potential military and geopolitical consequences of such an operation and opted out of participation.
Disagreements within the alliance over policy toward Iran are cited as a key factor behind the lack of consensus.
The reported divergence has raised concerns about escalating regional tensions and the risk of further military confrontation.
Analysts say the refusal of some NATO members to join the initiative could reduce its operational effectiveness and highlight growing divisions among Western allies over Washington’s approach.
Iranian officials have not yet issued a direct response to the report, though observers expect tensions between Tehran and Washington could intensify if such measures advance.
