The UK is set to spearhead a multinational "Hormuz Coalition" alongside France and the U.S. to reopen the world's most vital oil chokepoint
Utilizing cutting-edge autonomous mine-hunting "motherships" and Type 45 destroyers, the Royal Navy aims to neutralize Iranian Maham mines and restore global energy flow.
The Royal Navy will take the lead in a multinational “Hormuz Coalition” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ensure safe passage for merchant ships, The Times reported today.
Britain and France are jointly developing the plan, which will also involve the United States and other allies. The UK is preparing to deploy mine-clearing units, including a “mothership” vessel, either a Royal Navy ship or a leased commercial vessel, equipped with autonomous uncrewed systems designed to hunt and destroy naval mines.
