Mitsotakis Says Europe Won’t Join Military Efforts Near Iran

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Greece and Europe will not participate in any military operations near Iran, after US President Donald Trump demanded that allies send vessels to help restart shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

“The simple answer is no, Greece is not going to participate in any operation around the theater of current operations,” he said at a Bloomberg event in Athens on Tuesday. “I doubt that there is much European appetite for such a mission right now.”
