UK leads international talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz

The United Kingdom has gathered a large group of countries for talks aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Reports indicate between 35 and 40 nations participated, with the United States notably absent from the discussions.

The talks, which Canada has now joined, are focused on pressing Iran to end its blockade of the strategic waterway. The UK-led coalition has called for the 'immediate' reopening of the strait, which is a critical global shipping route for oil.
