Britain to Host Summit on Managing the Strait of Hormuz

About 35 countries will join Britain’s virtual talks as Iran’s closure of the route drives up oil and gas prices and threatens global shipping.

  • Britain will host a virtual summit with 35 countries, including Australia but excluding the United States, to discuss reopening the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing Middle East war, as announced by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
  • The Strait of Hormuz has been closed by Iran since the war began, significantly affecting about one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supplies and causing global energy prices to rise.
  • US Vice President JD Vance has been engaging intermediaries about ending the Iran war, and President Donald Trump has indicated openness to a ceasefire contingent on US conditions; however, Iran denies requesting a ceasefire as Trump claimed and asserts control over the Strait of Hormuz.
