In response to Support first, questions later: Australia and the Iran war

We can cut a deal on Hormuz oil without the US

Re Mike Gilligan’s article: Trump is now saying the US doesn’t need Gulf oil, so he says it is up to us to organise supplies ourselves. Pulling together, we, the EU, China, the GCC, Japan and Korea plus other willing parties could negotiate a satisfactory deal with Iran, using our highly experienced diplomats. Trump and his forces and group of inexperienced diplomats should vacate the field and leave it to us to reach a deal with Iran, just as he has suggested.
