UK and France set to host multinational Strait of Hormuz meeting as British Warship to pre-position in the region

The UK and France are hosting a multinational meeting at the Strait of Hormuz, and the British warship HMS Dragon will be forward deployed to the Middle East region. This aims to allow international partners to discuss and outline their military contributions. The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, disrupting international shipping and driving up energy prices.
