London — 欧盟——这个由美国一些最亲密盟友组成的27国集团——周二明确表示，不会急于响应特朗普总统关于军事援助以重开霍尔木兹海峡的呼吁。
美国和以色列对伊朗发动的战争中，由于伊朗在波斯湾的报复性导弹和无人机袭击，这条关键航运路线的交通几乎陷入停滞。通常约五分之一的原油供应要经过该海峡，因此海峡关闭导致全球能源价格急剧上涨。
特朗普多次要求美国的欧洲盟友——所有盟友在对伊朗发动袭击前都被排除在计划之外——部署军舰，以帮助保护在该海峡航行的商用船只。
欧盟外交政策负责人卡娅·卡拉斯周二告诉路透社：“没有人准备好让自己的民众在霍尔木兹海峡处于危险之中。我们必须找到外交途径来保持海峡畅通，这样我们才不会面临粮食危机、化肥危机和能源危机。”
特朗普近几日对英国首相基尔·斯塔默提出了严厉批评，斯塔默除了捍卫英国自身利益和盟友免受伊朗袭击外，也拒绝承诺在波斯湾提供任何具体援助。
周一，斯塔默表示英国“不会卷入更广泛的战争”，但“我们必须重开霍尔木兹海峡以确保市场稳定。这不是一项简单的任务。”
斯塔默称英国正在与其所有盟友合作，“制定一个可行的集体计划，以尽快恢复该地区的航行自由，并减轻经济影响。”
他表示，在伊朗冲突的每个阶段，他都坚持自己的原则，“我们的决定应该基于对英国国家利益的冷静、清醒的评估。如果我们要派遣军人冒着危险，他们至少应该知道自己是在合法的基础上行动，并且有一个经过深思熟虑的计划。”
“我的领导理念是，无论压力多大，都要坚定维护英国利益，”斯塔默说，“我相信时间会证明我们采取了正确的方法。”
卡拉斯周一表示，欧盟可能会将现有的“阿斯皮德斯行动”（Operation Aspides）海军任务范围扩大，以保护红海至波斯湾的航运，或者在成员国之间建立一个“自愿联盟”，以临时方式提供军事能力。
法国也表示愿意与其他国家合作，开展一项潜在的国际任务，护送船只通过海峡，但前提是该地区的战斗已经平息。
德国外交部长约翰·瓦德富尔周一表示，美国和以色列有必要说明“他们认为其军事部署的目标何时能够实现”，并补充道：“我们需要这里有更多的明确性。”
卢森堡外交大臣泽维尔·贝特尔周一表示，欧盟仍未承诺采取军事行动。
贝特尔称：“事实是，目前欧盟并未直接卷入局势。因此我们需要决定是否要参与其中。这是一个重要的决定。”
特朗普周一表示：“许多国家都告诉我他们正在赶来。一些国家非常热情，一些则不然。有些是我们多年来一直帮助的国家——我们保护它们免受可怕的外部威胁——但它们并不那么热情。热情的程度对我来说很重要。”

European Union rejects Trump’s calls for military deployments to reopen Strait of Hormuz
March 17, 2026 / 11:28 AM EDT / CBS News
London — The European Union — the 27 nation bloc that includes some of America’s closest allies — made it clear Tuesday that it would not be racing to meet President Trump’s calls for military assistance to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The war launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran has seen traffic through the vital shipping lane grind nearly to a halt due to Tehran’s retaliatory missile and drone fire across the Persian Gulf. Roughly a fifth of all crude oil supplies typically pass through the strait, so the closure has caused a sharp rise in global energy prices.
Mr. Trump has issued repeated demands that America’s European allies, all of whom were cut out of the planning ahead of the assault on Iran, deploy warships to help protect commercial vessels navigating the strait.
“Nobody is ready to put their people in harm’s way in the Strait of Hormuz,” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told the Reuters news agency on Tuesday. “We have to find diplomatic ways to keep this open so that we don’t have a food crisis, fertilizers crisis, energy crisis as well.”
Mr. Trump has focused significant criticism in recent days on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has also declined to commit to any specific assistance in the Persian Gulf beyond defending British interests and allies from Iran’s attacks.
On Monday, Starmer said the U.K. would “not be drawn into the wider war” but that “we have to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to ensure stability in the market. That is not a simple task.”
Starmer said the U.K. was working with all of its allies, “to bring together a viable, collective plan that can restore freedom of navigation in the region as quickly as possible and ease the economic impacts.”
He said at every stage of the conflict in Iran, he has stood by his principles, “that our decisions should be based on a calm, level-headed assessment of the British national interest. And that if we are to send our servicemen and women into harm’s way, the very least they deserve is to know that they do so on a legal basis and with a proper, thought through plan.”
“My leadership is about standing firm for the British interest, no matter the pressure,” Starmer said. “And I believe time will show that we have the right approach.”
Kallas had said Monday that the EU could potentially expand its existing Operation Aspides naval mission to protect shipping in the Red Sea up to the Persian Gulf, or that it could build a “coalition of the willing” among member nations to contribute military capacity on an ad hoc basis.
France has also suggested willingness to work with other countries on a potential international mission to escort ships through the strait, but only after fighting has subsided in the region.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Monday that it was important for the U.S. and Israel to lay out “when they consider the military aims of their deployment to have been reached,” adding: “We need more clarity here.”
And Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister Xavier Bettel said Monday that the EU remained uncommitted to military action.
“The fact is, for the moment, the EU is not directly part of the situation. So we need to decide if we are going to be part or not. That’s an important decision,” Bettel said.
Mr. Trump on Monday said “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way. Some are very enthusiastic about it, and some aren’t. Some are countries that we’ve helped for many, many years — we’ve protected them from horrible outside sources — and they weren’t that enthusiastic. And the level enthusiasm, of enthusiasm, matters to me.”
