British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that “more than 12 countries have offered to contribute to a peaceful, defensive multinational mission, led by London and Paris, to secure the Strait of Hormuz, to be deployed as soon as conditions are in place.”
He added in a statement issued after a summit in Paris that brought together around 30 countries in person and via video that “work on the military planning for this force will continue at a meeting in London next week, during which we will announce further details about its composition.”
