Summary

UK to convene meeting of 40 countries to discuss how to reopen Hormuz The UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) has confirmed that military planners will meet at the UK’s Permanent Joint Headquarters to take action on resolving the block on the Strait of Hormuz. The meeting next week will be to “discuss viable options to make the Strait of Hormuz accessible and safe for navigation,” according the MoD in a post to X on Thursday. The post also confirmed that UK military operations “continued their defensive missions across the region overnight” amid criticism that the British government is not being honest about UK involvement in the US-Israeli war on Iran.
