Britain Says 40 Countries Discuss Reopening Strait of Hormuz After Iran Blockade
Share
Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Approximately 40 countries are engaging in discussions, led by Britain and France, to coordinate efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has blockaded in response to US-Israeli strikes. The waterway, crucial for about 20% of global oil consumption, has been effectively shut, prompting concerns over rising energy prices and global economic impact. While the United States did not participate in the talks and President Trump suggested other countries should secure the strait themselves, European nations are exploring diplomatic and military options to protect shipping routes and reduce insurance costs. France emphasized that any military intervention would be complex, require significant coordination, and depend on a reduction in hostilities.

British foreign minister Yvette Cooper said Iran’s “recklessness” in blockading the waterway was “hitting our global economic security” as she chaired the virtual meeting, which included France, Germany, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and India. “We have seen Iran hijack an international shipping route to hold the global economy hostage,” Cooper said in opening remarks broadcast to the media before the rest of the meeting took place behind closed doors. The United States did not attend the talks, one official said.
