The United States and the United Kingdom proposed to convene a conference on the Strait of Hormuz to facilitate the formation of the Holmuz Strait Caring Union

ON 25 JULY, THE UNITED STATES AND THE UNITED KINGDOM PLAN TO CONVENE A HIGH-LEVEL MEETING NEXT WEEK IN LONDON, WHICH WILL FOCUS ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A POTENTIAL INTERNATIONAL COALITION TO PROTECT MARITIME SHIPPING IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, ACCORDING TO TWO EUROPEAN DIPLOMATS AND TWO OTHER INFORMED SOURCES CITED ON THE AXIOS WEBSITE. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, THE SCHEDULE AND DATE OF THE TRIP ARE STILL UNDER DISCUSSION AND HAVE NOT YET BEEN FINALIZED. THE UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, HERGESS, AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, GENERAL DAN KANE, MAY BE PRESENT. ACCORDING TO SOURCES, THE UNITED STATES HOPES TO BUILD ON THE DISCUSSIONS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN RECENT MONTHS BETWEEN BRITAIN AND FRANCE AND A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES ON THE POTENTIAL ALLIANCE OF NATIONS IN THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ. ONE OF THE KEY CONDITIONS SET BY MANY STATES IS THAT FIGHTING IN THE STRAITS MUST END IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND ARE SUFFICIENTLY SECURE TO ALLOW FOR INTERNATIONAL MARITIME MISSIONS. ACCORDING TO SOURCES, THE UNITED STATES WOULD LIKE ITS ALLIES TO SEND ASSETS SUCH AS DEMINING VESSELS, NAVAL VESSELS AND DRONES TO THE AREA TO HELP ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE SHIPPING LANES。
