US EditionNATO allies debate military action to break Iran’s Strait of Hormuz blockade
- NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Wednesday that NATO allies are coordinating to find the best way to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and agree it must be reopened.
- Since last month, Iran's effective shutdown of the strait after the United States and Israel began a war has pushed global oil prices up more than 40%.
- US President Donald Trump urged other powers to send warships to escort convoys, while British military experts work with the US and a team was sent to US Central Command.
- NATO publicly condemned Iran's attacks and discussed the situation with France, Germany, Italy, and Poland, with NATO's Gulf partners participating in the coordination.
- Mr Carns warned reopening must be a multinational solution and defence sources said few nations would risk placing warships amid threats; in 1987, escorts required 30 warships but the situation is now more complex.

Europeans Have Changed Their Minds About the Strait
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte heard Donald Trump. He now says he is hearing from the allies, and they are collectively working on how to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
