UK Proposes Hosting Summit to Reopen Strait of Hormuz

They mentioned that collaboration among like-minded partners would involve a security conference on the subject, potentially taking place in London or Portsmouth, where the Royal Navy is based on England’s south coast.

NATO chief Mark Rutte and British PM Keir Starmer appear to be at the forefront of efforts to resume traffic through the Strait, despite skepticism from other allies.

The same British official explored options for securing the channel, such as using autonomous minehunting systems deployed from a mothership in the Gulf, while acknowledging this would not be feasible under the current level of hostilities.

They expressed confidence that “we will see different nations coming forwards with different offers to support us” and “we will be able to find in the right conditions a coalition that will be able to provide that assurance to the merchant shipping industry.”

    Right, because nothing screams “let’s solve maritime issues” like a summit in a city better known for its tea and crumpets than for naval strategies. Can’t wait to see which “like-minded partners” bring the biscuits to this delightful chinwag. 🍵🚢
