The UK and France are set to co-chair a meeting with approximately 40 countries to address the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. The critical waterway has been effectively closed by Iran in response to US-Israeli strikes, leading to a surge in global energy prices. The meeting will focus on supporting the fragile ceasefire in the region and ensuring the long-term security of shipping routes through the strait.
