MMilitary planners from more than 30 countries are holding two-day talks in London from Wednesday to advance plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The meeting, led by Britain and France, aims to turn diplomatic backing into a co-ordinated military plan to safeguard freedom of navigation in one of the world’s most critical shipping routes.
More than a dozen countries have already signalled their willingness to join the proposed mission, which would be deployed once conditions allow, following a sustainable ceasefire in the region.
The talks build on a wider international effort involving around 50 countries from Europe, Asia and the Middle East, which previously joined discussions to demonstrate collective support for keeping the strait open.
According to the UK Ministry of Defence, discussions in London will focus on military capabilities, command and control structures, and how forces could be deployed to the region.
UK Defence Secretary John Healey said the goal is to translate diplomatic consensus into a practical plan that ensures safe passage through the strait and contributes to long-term stability.
