UK Hosts 30-Nation Talks on Strait of Hormuz Mission
Military planners will discuss command structures and deployment rules as Britain and France seek a defensive mission to restore shipping through the strait.
- On Wednesday, the UK began hosting military planners from more than 30 countries at the Permanent Joint Headquarters in London for two days of talks aimed at finalizing security plans for the Strait of Hormuz.
- Building on high-level talks in Paris last Friday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron co-chaired a meeting with representatives from more than 40 countries to lay groundwork for coordinated international response.
- UK Defence Secretary John Healey said the objective is to "translate diplomatic consensus into a joint plan," adding he is confident "real progress can be made" to safeguard navigation and support a lasting ceasefire.
