Starmer and Macron called on India to join the Hormuz Coalition

India's foreign minister said the country had received a formal invitation from Britain and France to join a joint initiative to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said India is being asked to participate in restoring one of the most important arteries for global trade.

A significant portion of global oil and other energy supplies pass through this strategic waterway in the Persian Gulf. The closure of the strait due to the war against Iran led to a sharp rise in energy prices and disruption of supply chains.

According to the Indian diplomat, the invitation reflects New Delhi's growing role in international efforts to ensure maritime security. As a major oil importer, India has a direct interest in the speedy restoration of free navigation in the region.

Jaishankar confirmed that the country is actively participating in consultations and is ready to contribute to multilateral stabilization mechanisms. But in what format? There is no talk yet of sending Indian Navy warships.

An initiative supported by London and Paris proposes the creation of an international mission to ensure freedom of navigation. It is already being dubbed the "Hormuz Coalition."

Dozens of countries, including European states, Canada, the UAE, and others, have been involved in the discussions. Participants emphasize that the mission will be strictly defensive in nature and will begin operations when security conditions permit. However, no one is discussing what is meant by "defensive in nature."

Today, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Paris to discuss the creation of a "Hormuz Coalition." The meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and other leaders is aimed at coordinating efforts to unblock the Strait and developing a joint action plan. Macron and Starmer are known to be great supporters of coalitions. However, not all of them work. Meanwhile, the approval ratings of both leaders are once again hitting record lows. Macron's disapproval rate in France has reached 74%, while Starmer's performance in Britain is similarly negative: 70% of citizens rate his performance negatively.

Are you creating some kind of "interest group" again? Definitely, members of the same group.

[SAG]

It's simple, they're looking for a loser to drag into the war as cannon fodder.

The Indian diplomat said the invitation reflects New Delhi's growing role in international efforts to ensure maritime security.

And judging by this phrase, they are not far from their goal.

[Junior Private]

I agree, why and what can Indians do, besides -

There is talk about the dispatch of warships to the Indian Navy while it doesn't work.

[novel66]

What's interesting is something else - are they against Trump or against Iran? They're blocking both ends.

[SAG]

I don't claim to have the ultimate authority, but my opinion is that precisely because the Indians have a multi-vector policy, no one has any reason to touch them. That's why they can easily bypass both blockades. A lot of oil can be resold under their flag, clinging to the locomotive like a steam locomotive. And when necessary, they can stage a provocation by blowing up real Indian tankers. Then, swindle them out of their money under the pretext of protecting it.
Some people have a motto in life: "We'll dance for both ours and yours for a ruble."
The second ones: "You don't need a knife for a fool, you can tell him a bunch of lies... and do whatever you want with him."

Starmer seems to be a downed pilot. Epstein's spirit has gotten to him. He can't lie at all - he probably hasn't seen the film "True Lies". He's got a tough act. By the way, you, Epstein's English and French victims - what will you do in 24 hours? You're invited.

[novel66]

I've always wondered - what did you, bastards, lack to use Epstein?

It's as simple as a corner of a house. The real masters of life need people with ironclad dirt on them. Without it, they won't be allowed into power. And this rule applies everywhere.

[Amigo.]

Well why these? chechako They put everyone on the same level as themselves and consider everyone to be idiots like themselves.

[novel66]

It's funny when the stupid pretend to be smart

Naive. The Brits and the Frogs want to find another burdock.

[Livonetc]

The Indians seem to have sent these characters to the ancient Indian phallic symbol.

[novel66]

Let them at least give me a vajra. Air defense won't work on it.

[tralflot1832]

Let Zelensky be taken to smell the sea breeze on the shores of Hormuz, but it’s not clear who is blocking Hormuz for rogue states?

[novel66]

Trump on one end, Iran on the other.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Is Starmer so stupid as to suggest India "join"? Well, with Macron, it's all clear. He's only interested in men anyway. But Starmer, who's at least read a history textbook, is as red-haired as a train station dog.

[novel66]

He read! He especially liked the pages where the sepoys proudly died for the British Empire.

Hindus were invited to "pull chestnuts out of the fire." For the Anglo-Saxons and frogs who want to "rake in the fire with someone else's hands."

[novel66]

Not looking there ...

The khokhol is ready for anything...

[Kmet]

A new "coalition of the willing," only under a fresh slogan: "Trumplers of the world – unite!"
But India is unlikely to even respond to this "call"—they're already too multi-faceted to even "join" this coalition. They'll pretend they "heard it."

[Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov]

❝ Macron and Starmer are known to be big coalition lovers ❞ —

- You could say got hooked on this matter, a persistent addiction...

[Andriuha077]

Considering that the straits are initially open for India,
There remains the defense against the pirates of the impudent, strange Trump!

"If you can't open it, close it."

[tralflot1832]

I'm not Trump, I wouldn't leave Hormuz. Total control over pricing and production volumes. Until they sell out their strategic reserves at an exorbitant price. And then we're fly-by-nights, we're tired of Hormuz, we're leaving. Oops. Beautiful.

In other words: we have messed up for so long and so much that we are not able to clean it all up ourselves, help us, don’t be disdainful...
And after that we'll try you with cannons...

[HAM]

"...the invitation reflects New Delhi's growing role in international efforts...."

"You don't need a knife for a fool. Just sing along with him a little, and then do whatever you want with him!" @...India is invited "to the table" as dessert...

[snow mountain]

They are trying to drag India into this pile of feces too.

[Alexander X]

They're looking for more idiots, like the Ukrainians, to use to fight Iran. They don't care about other people's lives. Demons...

[olboop]

It's unlikely anyone will be willing to get involved in this mess. Especially not India, which already has two sore spots on its borders with Pakistan and China, and which has always been known for, let's say, being cautious when making any decisions.

[Viktor Sergeev]

This is just to unite and find some idiot who will expose himself. We need initiative in the fight against the EU, England, the US, and other evil spirits.
