Netherlands, five allies ready to help secure Strait of Hormuz amid rising tensions
The Netherlands, along with the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, said they are prepared to support “appropriate measures” to safeguard shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The six nations welcomed the start of “preparatory planning” by involved countries.
The United States has spent the past few days pressing allies to help end Iran’s blockade of the strategic strait, which disrupts roughly 20 percent of global oil supply and sharply pushes up prices. Until now, American allies have been reluctant, frustrating President Donald Trump. Behind the scenes, NATO leader Mark Rutte has urged European partners to step up their assistance.
