UK Hosts 30-Nation Talks on Strait of Hormuz Mission
Military planners from more than 30 countries will discuss command and deployment options for a UK-France-led mission, officials said.
- 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.
- Despite persistent tensions, President Donald Trump extended a two-week ceasefire, though Washington and Tehran continue trading accusations of breaches while neither participates in current military planning discussions.
- Officials emphasize the proposed mission remains defensive, with any deployment occurring only after a durable peace is established to reassure regional actors that the initiative focuses on stability rather than escalation.
