Latvia is sending EOD divers to Hormuz. Rinkevics says the first Ukraine drones were Iranian-designed.
Summary
- Fox News Digital reports Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics, speaking at the U.N. General Assembly, said Iranian drone technology helped Russia wage war in Ukraine and that Latvia will contribute specialists to a U.S.-led Strait of Hormuz effort.
- Rinkevics said a country of about 1.84 million, on NATO's eastern flank, has already made the parliamentary decision to send explosive-ordnance-disposal diver specialists to the Strait of Hormuz or the wider Middle East after President Trump asked Europe for help.
- He said the first drones Russia used were Iranian-made or Iranian-designed, and that Russians are now modernizing them while the design remains Iranian. Fox separately cited Russian Foreign Ministry documents outlining 2024-2026 cooperation with Iran on nuclear, finance, aviation, and infrastructure.
- He said Latvia does not see an imminent Russian invasion of NATO soil, arguing Moscow has spent four and a half years failing to take small pieces of Ukraine, and that the immediate threat is sabotage, cyber, and information campaigns.
Commentary
A gulf-port dad still walks a wet dock after a diesel night and knows a 1.84-million-person ally is supposed to mean a quiet flank, not EOD divers pointed at Hormuz because the first Ukraine bird wore an Iranian rib. He did not pay the levy so a design could migrate from Tehran to a Ukrainian field and then to the strait.
One parliamentary yes. One Iranian rib. Four and a half years of a stalled march. The vinyl chair in that Riga briefing room still holds the honest household that already bought the NATO dues.
Look every working father who still fuels a night dock in the eye and answer this: if the first Ukraine drone already wore an Iranian design, who still owns the next bird that design is building for the strait?

I stood a gate so a flank still meant a flank. A migrated drone rib is not a weather report.

Parliamentary decision. Hormuz coalition. 2024-2026 roadmap. Print the three.

Allied flanks still treat an Iranian rib as a breach, not a vendor note.

Nuclear, finance, aviation, infrastructure. File the four lanes.

I still smell diesel at 2 a.m. I want the next Iranian rib empty of a Russian paint job.

A Hormuz diver is not a vibe. It is a warning the street already paid.

A 1.84-million yes next to a four-and-a-half-year grind is a second border around every honest dock.

Fox printed Rinkevics, EOD, and the Iranian rib. Argue those nouns.

Hold the coalition. Keep the divers. An Iranian rib is not a souvenir.
