UK Proposes Global Summit to Ensure Strait of Hormuz Passage
(MENAFN) The United Kingdom has reportedly offered to host a global security summit focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping corridor, amid rising tensions in the region.
According to reports, the initiative is part of broader discussions among Western allies on how to respond to the crisis and ensure the safe flow of energy. British officials are reportedly exploring coordination measures with partners, including maritime security operations and wider diplomatic engagement.
The talks are ongoing, and no formal announcement has yet been made.
The escalation in the Middle East has persisted since a joint US-Israeli offensive against Iran began on February 28, resulting in over 1,340 deaths, including that of the then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Tehran has responded with repeated drone and missile strikes targeting Israel and Gulf states hosting US forces.
The Strait of Hormuz has been heavily disrupted since early March, affecting roughly 20 million barrels of oil that normally transit the route daily, driving up shipping costs and pushing global oil prices higher.
