As well they should: the US got into this mess themselves, they can jolly well get themselves out of it themselves too.
Let’s be honest here, warships won’t help to reopen the strait. The danger is coming from Iranian rockets being shot from the coast at ships. Warships in the strait are sitting ducks - we’ve all read about all those military exercises showing that. The only way to reopen the strait is to somehow degrade Iranian military capability at the coastline. And that is a long coastline with a lot of hiding spots which were prepared for exactly this scenario by the Iranians for years. So no European warship showing up there will have any effect except being sunk.
Another way to reopen the straits is for the U.S. to stop bombing Iran.
And hand them trump and his crew as a show of good faith and example of what should happen to mad king wannabes.
A man is allowed to dream, right?
you forgot to mention agent krasnovs hidden motive here: by exhausting european military, its easier for russia to occupy more territory later on.
European warship showing up there will have any effect except being sunk.
Bingo! The US Navy is more than capable enough to carry out this operation on its own.
But it will lead to fatalities and vessels being lost. That’s what Trump fears, so why not risk the lives and ships of the other nations instead?
And once they’re there, declare victory and pull out, leaving the Europeans and Asians to solve the mess he created.
He’s probably hoping european casualties will give rise to patriotic nationalism and layman support, but he’s forgetting that only works when you can sell the public a reasonable narrative on the necessity and morality of a war.

Helping manufacture consent for more European intervention, you forgot that part.
Correction: not help to reopen the strait of Hormuz, but help in taking out Iranian positions along the shore, clearing mines and countering incoming drones and missiles. In other words, to join in the war against Iran.
Not even the GCC countries want to do that and they really need the strait to be opened.
It sure feels weird agreeing with my chancellor. You’re an asshole, Fritze, but this time you’re right.
I know that avatar from somewhere… isn’t it a porn comic, @throws_lemy@reddthat.com?
