Finland rejects Trump’s Hormuz naval request
Finnish President Alexander Stubb explicitly refused Donald Trump’s demand to deploy naval forces to the Strait of Hormuz, citing the Israel-US aggression against Iran as an illegal justification for military escalation.

Tehran - BORNA - Finland’s President Alexander Stubb directly opposed Trump’s request. 

"Our focus must remain on NATO cohesion—not unprovoked military actions," Stubb stated.

“We are a defensive alliance, which means we do not typically undertake military attacks.”

He condemned US-Israeli strikes on Iran as violation of international law, comparing them to NATO’s Cold War peacekeeping—"always legitimized by UN principles."
