The German Navy will not help in the Strait of Hormuz. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius sees no mission now. German ships should remove sea mines. These are dangerous weapons in the water.
Two German ships wait in the country Djibouti. These are the boats Fulda and Mosel. It is very hot there in summer. The heat is often 50 degrees. Pistorius wants the soldiers back in Berlin.
The mission lacks important permits. The government of Iran says no to the mission. The German Parliament has also not agreed. Many politicians have legal concerns about this mission.
A container ship had an accident in the Strait of Hormuz. The ship hit the ground in shallow water. It was too close to the shore. Iran wants to control the sea path strictly.
Soon there are new talks between the USA and Iran. The countries talk in Qatar about a peaceful solution. The situation in the region remains difficult.
