Hindi magpapadala ng kani-kanilang warships ang Australia at Japan sa Strait of Hormuz, taliwas sa naging panawagan ni US President Donald Trump na bakuran na raw ng allied countries nila ang naturang daanan ng kalakaran ng produktong petrolyo.
Sa magkahiwalay na mga pahayag, kapuwa nanindigan ang Japan at Australia na hindi umano sila makikisangkot sa sigalot sa Strait of Hormuz na patuloy na naapektuhan sa sigalot na namamagitan sa Iran kontra sa sanib pwersa ng US at Israel.
"We have not made any decisions whatsoever about dispatching escort ships. We are continuing to examine what Japan can do independently and what can be done within the legal framework," ani Japan Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
Samantala sa hiwalay na pahayag ng Australian government, tahasan nilang iginiit na hindi sila makikisali sa naturang panawagan ni Trump.
"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," anang Australia.
