Germany positions navy for possible Strait of Hormuz deployment: Report

Germany positions navy for possible Strait of Hormuz deployment: Report Germany is moving naval assets closer to the Middle East as it prepares to intervene in the Israeli-US war on Iran. The German defence ministry said the minesweeper Fulda has departed from Kiel, while the support vessel Mosel, currently in the Aegean Sea, is being readied for possible redeployment in the Strait of Hormuz. The government said any mission would require a sustained halt in fighting, a clear legal mandate and approval from parliament.
