尽管美国施加的压力越来越大，但越来越多的美国盟友拒绝参与保障霍尔木兹海峡安全的军事行动。
从欧洲到印度洋 – 太平洋地区，各国政府均表示不愿直接卷入军事行动，而是强调外交手段、法律约束或有限的防御性贡献。

法国已排除在保障霍尔木兹海峡安全方面发挥任何军事作用的可能性，强调采用外交途径。上周在接受法国24电视台采访时，法国武装部队部长卡特琳·沃特兰（Catherine Vautrin）表示，巴黎”不会参与这场战争”。
“目前，向霍尔木兹海峡派遣任何船只的问题是不存在的，”她解释道。沃特兰还质疑华盛顿和耶路撒冷在与伊朗冲突中的最终目标是否一致。
然而，总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）周一暗示，他预计法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙（Emmanuel Macron）会提供支持。

“我认为他会提供帮助。我的意思是，我会让你知道的。我昨天和他谈过了。我不会强行推销，因为我的态度是我们不需要任何人。我们是世界上最强大的国家，我们拥有世界上迄今为止最强大的军队。我们不需要他们，”特朗普在白宫表示。”但有趣的是，在某些情况下我几乎要这么做了，不是因为我们需要他们，而是因为我想看看他们的反应。”

德国拒绝参与军事行动，总理弗里德里希·默茨（Friedrich Merz）表示，这场冲突不属于北约的职责范围。”我们不会通过军事手段确保[霍尔木兹海峡的]航行自由。中东的战争不是北约的事情，”他在X平台（原推特）上发文称。”因此，德国也不会在军事上卷入其中。”

澳大利亚
尽管美国呼吁提供支持，澳大利亚拒绝派遣军舰前往海峡。周一在澳大利亚广播公司（ABC）国家电台的采访中，基础设施、交通、区域发展和地方政府部长凯瑟琳·金（Catherine King）表示：”我们不会派遣一艘船前往霍尔木兹海峡。我们知道这一点非常重要，但我们没有被要求或正在为此做出贡献。”
她指出，澳大利亚目前的贡献仅限于在阿联酋提供支持，包括提供飞机协助国防，因为该国在阿联酋有许多澳大利亚公民。

爱尔兰
爱尔兰已排除参与任何欧盟海军任务以重新开放这条战略水道的可能性。爱尔兰总理（Taoiseach）米哈伊尔·马丁（Micheál Martin）在与特朗普会面之前告诉记者，”我们没有任何形式的进攻性军事能力，因此显然这不在我们的议程上，”据《爱尔兰 examiner》报道。”世界正处于非常具有挑战性的局势中，没有人喜欢战争。我们国家当然不希望发生战争，我们希望有一个具体的解决方案。”

西班牙拒绝参与任何霍尔木兹任务，并呼吁结束战争。
国防部长玛格丽塔·罗布雷斯（Margarita Robles）表示，”我们正在塞浦路斯执行国防和安全任务，目前西班牙不考虑在霍尔木兹海峡执行任何任务。我们正在考虑的是结束这场战争的要求，”据西班牙报纸《La Razón》报道。
她称这场冲突是”一场造成许多人死亡的非法战争”。
外交大臣何塞·曼努埃尔·阿尔瓦雷斯（José Manuel Albares）同样主张结束”暴力螺旋”和”没有明确目标的升级”。

英国没有明确承诺采取直接军事行动，而是强调要与国际伙伴协调行动。周一的新闻发布会上，首相基尔·斯塔默（Keir Starmer）表示：”我们不会被卷入更广泛的战争”。
他呼吁盟友和其他欧洲国家”拿出一个可行的集体计划，以尽快恢复该地区的航行自由。”

日本称受法律限制，搁置向中东部署海军护航队的计划。在国会上议院预算委员会会议上发言时，首相高市早苗（Sanae Takaichi）表示，”关于派遣护航舰的决定尚未做出，”据《日本时报》报道。”我们目前正在考察日本可以独立做什么，以及在法律框架内可以做什么。”

Multiple allies decline US calls for Strait of Hormuz support amid rising Middle East tensions
Germany, Australia and Spain among countries rejecting involvement in helping secure strategic waterway

A growing number of U.S. allies are declining to take part in military efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz, despite mounting pressure from Washington.
From Europe to the Indo-Pacific, governments are signaling reluctance to be drawn into direct military action, instead emphasizing diplomacy, legal constraints or limited defensive contributions.

France
France has ruled out any military role in securing the Strait of Hormuz, stressing a diplomatic approach. In an interview with FRANCE 24 last week, Armed Forces Minister Catherine Vautrin said Paris is “not participating in this war.”
“At this point, there is no question of sending any vessels to the Strait of Hormuz,” she explained. Vautrin also questioned whether Washington and Jerusalem share the same end goals in the conflict with Iran.
President Donald Trump, however, suggested Monday he expects support from French President Emmanuel Macron.

“I think he’s going to help. I mean, I’ll let you know. I spoke to him yesterday. I don’t do a hard sell on them because my attitude is we don’t need anybody. We’re the strongest nation in the world. We have the strongest military by far in the world. We don’t need them,” Trump said at the White House. “But, it’s interesting. I’m almost doing it in some cases, not because we need them, but because I want to find out how they react.”

Germany
Germany has rejected military involvement, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz stating the conflict falls outside NATO’s scope. “We will not participate in ensuring [freedom of navigation in the] Strait of Hormuz by military means. The war in the Middle East is not a matter for NATO,” he said in a post on X. “Therefore, Germany will also not become involved militarily.”

Australia
Australia has declined to send ships to the strait despite U.S. calls for support. In an interview on ABC Radio National on Monday, Catherine King, minister for infrastructure, transport, regional development and local government, said, “We won’t be sending a ship to the Strait of Hormuz. We know how incredibly important that is, but that’s not something that we’ve been asked or that we’re contributing to.”
She noted Australia’s current contribution is limited to support in the United Arab Emirates, including providing aircraft to assist with defense given the number of Australians in the country.

Ireland
Ireland has ruled out participation in any EU naval mission to reopen the strategic waterway. Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach) Micheál Martin told reporters ahead of his meeting with Trump, “We don’t have that offensive military capacity in any shape or form, so obviously it’s not something that’s on our agenda,” according to the Irish Examiner. “The world is in a very challenging situation and no one likes war. We certainly don’t as a country, and we want a specific resolution.”

Spain
Spain has rejected any involvement in a Hormuz mission and called for an end to the war.
Defense Minister Margarita Robles said, “We are on a defense and security mission in Cyprus and at this moment Spain is not considering any mission in Hormuz. What we are considering is the demand that the war end,” according to Spanish newspaper La Razón.
She described the conflict as an “illegal war that is causing many deaths.”
Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares similarly argued to end the “spiral of violence” and “this escalation that does not have clear objectives.”

Countries signaling caution or limited involvement
United Kingdom
The U.K. has stopped short of committing to direct military action while emphasizing coordination with international partners. In a press conference on Monday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, “We will not be drawn into the wider war.”
He called on allies and other European countries to “bring together a viable collective plan that can restore freedom of navigation in the region as quickly as possible.”

Japan
Japan is holding off on any deployment of naval escorts to the Middle East, citing legal constraints. Speaking in parliament during an Upper House Budget Committee meeting, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said, “No decision has been made whatsoever regarding the dispatch of escort vessels,” according to The Japan Times. “We are currently examining what Japan can do independently and what is possible within the legal framework.”

“Legally speaking, this is very difficult,” Takaichi added. “We are carefully examining what can be done within the scope of current laws and what is the best course of action at this time. At the same time, we are continuing to engage with Iran to help de-escalate the situation while also exchanging information with various countries.”
