Royal Navy sea drones and Type 45 destroyer 'to escort' tankers through Hormuz Strait

SUMMARY

British Royal Navy is taking the lead in forming a multinational naval alliance to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively closed by attacking more than a dozen commercial ships.

Defence sources confirm Britain is positioning itself at the helm of a multi-national maritime mission to restore safe passage for oil tankers through the critical waterway once the war de-escalates. Plans may include hosting a Strait of Hormuz summit in London attended by Gulf states, European nations and the United States.
