Washington and London act to secure Strait of Hormuz with 40 countries participating
The United States and Britain are studying the formation of an international naval force comprising around 40 countries to protect navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. This move comes amid escalating tensions with Iran and threats of potential conflict. These actions follow London's decision to withdraw its diplomatic staff from Tehran, raising fears of an escalation in hostilities in the region, especially after attacks on oil tankers and repeated clashes between Iran and its adversaries. Discussions have been held between defense ministers from both sides, and preparations are underway for an international meeting to consider establishing a naval force to counter attacks on merchant ships in the strait. The international community is now working to ensure freedom of navigation and reduce tensions in this highly sensitive area.
