Pistorius: Trump is to blame for the Hormuz crisis
Federal Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius (SPD) has assigned US President Donald Trump responsibility for the ongoing crisis surrounding the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. Ultimately, Trump “pushed the cork in the Strait of Hormuz,” Pistorius said on Sunday in the ARD program “Report from Berlin.” “But we have an interest in getting him out again,” he added. The prerequisite for a Bundeswehr deployment to secure shipping in the strait is, among other things, the consent of the neighboring states of Iran and Oman.
