Six major economies—Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan—have agreed to coordinate efforts to safeguard navigation through the Strait of Hormuz amid rising tensions with Iran. The joint statement, issued by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office, condemned Iranian threats to mine the waterway and conduct drone and missile attacks on commercial shipping. Starmer called on Tehran to halt activities, warning of risks to global peace and economic stability. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint between Iran and Oman, sees 17-20 million barrels of oil daily, about a fifth of global consumption. Tensions have surged due to the Iran conflict, including retaliatory strikes on oil infrastructure, leading to global oil price increases. US President Donald Trump urged global partners, including NATO allies, to take coordinated action to keep the Strait open. Any disruption could severely impact global trade and energy security.
