40 countries back efforts to safeguard Strait of Hormuz
The article discusses the efforts of the United States and Britain to establish an international naval force to protect navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, involving the participation of around 40 countries. The goal is to counter escalation with Iran and the growing threats from the Revolutionary Guard in the region. This initiative comes amid increasing tensions, following London's withdrawal of its diplomats from Tehran and a rise in hostile actions between Iran and the United States. The situation in the Straits is seen as on the verge of explosion. Leaders are planning to hold a meeting next week in London to discuss the formation of this force, although a final decision has not yet been made. This move is part of broader efforts to repair relations between London and Washington, and to reaffirm the United Kingdom’s commitment to freedom of navigation in the area to secure supply chains and reduce costs. Additionally, for the first time after 13 nights of mutual attacks, American forces and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard have refrained from firing at night, amid fears of a significant escalation.
