UK says no clear plan yet to reopen Strait of Hormuz

UK says no clear plan yet to reopen Strait of Hormuz A senior British defence official said there is still no clear plan to safely reopen the Strait of Hormuz. UK officials said discussions with allies are ongoing but still at an early stage, as Iran has effectively shut the key shipping route since the US-Israeli war on Iran began. Armed Forces Minister Al Carns said the threat to shipping includes mines, fast attack boats, missiles and drones, describing the situation as a “significant military challenge” that will require a multinational response.
