> No, the American-only blocade is not proof that NATO has responded. To be clear you're claiming that there isn't a NATO response? If so I apologize as I thought you were referring to a US response to the ongoing war. More generally NATO allies and Gulf States have participated in various ways in the war. UAE and Saudi Arabia for example are reported to have struck Iran. I don't recall the full extent but I believe the United Kingdom and France which both have facilities or operate in the area were going to assist in shooting down threats to civilian facilities but I don't recall where that landed. > Unresponsive; "in the early days of the war". Responsive - provided a link to an example. > "I might be right! Someday!" Well it's hard to tell, they issue statements all the time. Here's an example: "France has said it is "ready to help" defend Gulf nations and Jordan against Iran, signalling a firm commitment to regional allies as tensions spiral following a wave of missile and drone attacks." (https://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20260302-france-backs-gulf-states-as-iran-launches-fresh-wave-of-missile-strikes https://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20260302-france-backs-gulf-stat...) So yea, like they do change their mind. You know situations and stuff are dynamic and things change, right? France could decide tomorrow they've had enough and outright participate in the war. Who knows? > Good; we now agree my claim was accurate. I'd agree your specific claim about Spain is accurate, but it's inaccurate with respect to NATO as a whole. Why is it inaccurate? Because for every Spain there's another NATO member who is allowing overflights or whatever.

You, in the comment that started this particular thread: "NATO just today as reported by Bloomberg said that if the Strait isn't open by July that it will take or consider taking action." To which /u/epistasis replied: "Oh, 8 weeks, and they'll think about doing something?" Your LLM needs bigger context.

  > You, in the comment that started this particular thread: I was just asking for clarification to make sure we were talking about the same thing. I even apologized. > "Oh, 8 weeks, and they'll think about doing something?" And yea, like there's no like big time pressure or something here. The war isn't a big deal anyway.
