Germany’s defense minister rebuffs Trump’s Strait of Hormuz request: ‘This is not our war’

Germany's defense minister has declined a U.S. request by President Trump to send naval vessels to the Strait of Hormuz, stating 'this is not our war.' Iran has effectively closed the strategically vital strait, and Trump has been pressing NATO allies to provide military support to reopen the critical shipping lane. The refusal highlights growing transatlantic tensions over burden-sharing and military commitments.
