NATO's eastern members brace for US disengagement
"Baltic leaders welcomed the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader, viewing it as a new opportunity for the Iranian people to determine their own future. Estonia has signaled readiness to consider deploying its demining vessels to the Strait of Hormuz."
"Lithuania has expressed willingness to consider providing troops to assist Washington should such a request be made. Lithuanian president Gitanas Nauseda articulated the rationale for support, emphasizing the importance of contributing to international missions."
"For the Baltic states, supporting the US, their most powerful ally, is seen as crucial for their own security, particularly in relation to the threat posed by Russia."
Over six weeks of conflict involving the US and Israel against Iran, Baltic states have actively supported military actions, citing Iran's nuclear threats and aggression. Leaders from Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania expressed their backing for operation Epic Fury and welcomed the death of Iran's Supreme Leader. Estonia is considering deploying demining vessels, while Lithuania is open to sending troops if requested. This support is seen as vital for their security against Russia, especially after warnings from Russian officials regarding their involvement in military operations.
