LIST: UK gathers 40+ countries to reopen Strait of Hormuz
The UK has gathered over 40 countries to discuss reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil shipping route largely shut down due to the ongoing conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran. The meeting aims to find diplomatic and political solutions to the crisis, which has disrupted global trade and driven up oil prices.
The Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping route, has been largely closed for over a month due to the ongoing conflict. More than 40 countries, including Australia, Canada, and France, are meeting to discuss diplomatic solutions. The UK accuses Iran of disrupting global trade and driving up prices. About 20% of the world's oil and natural gas normally passes through the strait. Shipping traffic has slowed to nearly a halt, with at least 23 attacks on commercial vessels. The disruption has pushed oil prices higher and added pressure to global markets.
